SAMPLE - NEGOTIATION OF JOB OFFER: REQUEST TO MATCH OR BEAT OFFER FROM ANOTHER FIRM

 


 


I am delighted by your offer to join [FIRM, ex. XYZ Inc].  I find the position and job duties to be challenging, yet tailored to my abilities.


 


I would like you to know that I have recently received an offer from [FIRM, ex. ABC Co].  I am thus left with a difficult decision to make. [FIRM, ex. ABC Co] is offering me [STATE SUPERIOR TERMS, ex. a $34,000 salary with a 15% bonus based on my division’s sales.]  I am hoping that you will be able to match their offer.


 


Please allow me to contact you on [DATE, ex. Thursday] so that we may discuss this matter in greater detail.


 


Sincerely,
