Excited to accept. When would you like me to start?
“wow thank you so much for the offer!! this is a really exciting opportunity but i want to make sure i give it the thought it deserves — could i get back to you by end of week?”
Thank you — I'd like to give this real thought. Reply by Friday?
“thank you so much for this offer, i really appreciate the time everyone spent with me and this was a genuinely hard decision but i've decided to pursue another opportunity”
Thank you for the offer. After serious thought, I've decided to go elsewhere. Grateful for the process.
