How to Write a Thank You Acceptance Letter
When someone accepts an offer you have made for the job or salary, it is always good to send a thank you letter for acceptance as a gesture of courtesy. This letter is actually sent so as to show your happiness or excitement that your offer has been accepted by the other person. At the same time, it also makes the receiver feel that he or she is invaluable for you. While writing the letter, you just have to make sure that you are brief and to the point but full of appreciation. The starting of the letter should immediately make the reader understand that what the letter is about.
