A written message confirming the recipient’s intention to begin employment with an organization, in response to a formal job offer. Such a message typically expresses gratitude, restates key terms of employment (salary, start date, position), and confirms enthusiasm for the role. For example: “Subject: Job Offer Acceptance – [Your Name] Dear [Hiring Manager Name], I am writing to formally accept the position of [Job Title] as outlined in your offer letter dated [Date of Offer]. I am excited to join your team and contribute to [Company Name].”
Formally acknowledging and agreeing to employment terms solidifies the professional relationship between the prospective employee and the hiring company. This communication acts as a documented confirmation, mitigating potential misunderstandings regarding salary, benefits, start date, and other essential aspects of the role. It also provides an opportunity to express appreciation and reiterate commitment, which can strengthen the employer-employee relationship from the outset. Historically, formal written acceptance, often via mail, was the standard. The advent of electronic communication has expedited this process, with the electronic message now serving as the primary mode of confirmation.
