Whether by standard mail or email, if you have accepted a job offer it is always a good idea to send a job acceptance letter. This communique is a way to outline the details of the job, an opportunity to thank those with whom you've met, as well as confirm the start day of your employment. Here are all the elements you should include.
An acceptance letter can be brief. It should be addressed to the person who formally offered you the position and include your contact details again. After you thank your future employer about the job opportunity, you should take some time to outline the details of employment. This should include salary, benefits and any other items that were agreed upon. Don't forget to confirm your start date.
Even though you have the job, you should always keep it professional . Make sure to use the proper grammar and check for typos. This correspondence is part of the ongoing impression you will make as an employee of the company.
Here is a sample job acceptance letter that you can reference:
Your First Name Last Name
Your Address
Your Phone number & Email
First Name Last Name of Company Representative
Title of Representative
New Employer's Address
