How to Write a Good Job Acceptance Email

After being offered a job, you should prompt reply to inform your new employer about your acceptance of the role and responsibilities that come with the job. Here’s everything you should know about writing a good job acceptance email.

  • Express gratitude: Begin by thanking the hiring manager or recruitment team for the job offer. Show your appreciation for the opportunity and express your enthusiasm for joining the team.
  • Confirm your acceptance: Clearly state your formal acceptance of the job offer. Reiterate the job title and express your readiness for this new journey.
  • Clarify terms of employment: Confirm essential details like your work hours, salary, and the official start date. It's also a good time to mention any terms and conditions discussed during the interview process, such as health insurance benefits or specific work arrangements.
  • Address additional terms: If there were verbal agreements or discussions about perks and additional benefits, now is the time to get them in writing. Ensure all terms of employment are clearly stated and agreed upon.
  • Proofread: Before sending, review your email for any errors. A well-written, error-free email reflects your professionalism and attention to detail.
