Dear sir/madam
First of all, thank you so much for providing me with the opportunity for an interview at your
company and believing in my skills and knowledge. I acknowledge your job offer for IT
manager at your company, however, I think that this job is little underpaid and job
responsibilities are not according to my skills. With due respect to your company, I have
found another job offer that not only pays me better but also consistent with my job
Expectations and job roles.
I really enjoyed meeting you and your team and it was actually a nice experience interacting
with you. The way you conducted the interview impressed me and you were so polite to me
during the entire interview. I really wished that I could work with you and your company.
Best wishes for the success of your company.
Thanks and regards
