How to Write a Resume Acceptance Letter
A Resume Acceptance Letter is written by the employer to the person or applicant who has forwarded resume for a certain vacant position. The purpose of sending this letter is just to let the applicant know that he fulfills basic requirements for the job he or she has applied for. It must be understood, that Resume Acceptance Letter by no means is even close to the appointment letter. It simply conveys this message to the applicant that his qualification and experience has made him get short-listed for the final selection of the applied post. As an employer, it is important that the letter is written professionally with least possible mistakes such as of grammar, punctuation and sentence structure.
