A Letter Declining a Job Offer
Dear Mr. Smith,
Thank you very much for giving me so much time for last week’s interview. I was very exciting you could provide the position for me as I’m a student who just graduate from college now.
But I must say sorry for your believing in me. I could not be able to take this job. Because I have passed the examination to graduate school. As I have mentioned to you at the interview that I have attended the graduation exam half a year ago. At that time, I don’t know the results. But now I received the acceptance letter from the school. So I couldn’t be able to join in your company. I’m sorry for it.
But here, I still want express again my deep gratefulness to your job and warm welcome. I hope and am sure we will have opportunite to cooperate in the future.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

谢绝工作邀请的信
亲爱的史密斯先生，
非常感谢你给我这么多时间为上周的采访。我很兴奋你能为我提供的工作，我现在是刚从大学毕业的一个学生。
但我必须说对不起，你相信我。我不能接受这份工作。因为我已经通过了研究生考试。正如我刚才给你在面试时，我参加了半年前的毕业考试。当时，我不知道结果。但是现在我收到学校的录取通知书。所以我不能加入你们的公司。对这件事我很抱歉。
但在这里，我还想再次表达对你的工作和热情的欢迎我深深的感激之情。我希望并相信我们将有机会在未来的合作。
此致，
李明
