WRITING A COVER LETTER

Dear Mr. Cline, I enjoyed meeting with you and your colleagues last week regarding the position of Assistant Researcher. Thank you for your time and consideration during this process. While I am not sure where you are in the hiring process, I wanted to let you know that I would like to withdraw my application from consideration for this position. I have accepted a similar position at another organization. Thank you again for you consideration and best of luck in your search. Sincerely, Anne Green

Description This letter template thanks an interviewer for their time, and withdraws your application from consideration for the open position. March 5, 2014 Dear : Thank you for your time and interest during our meeting last week. Lucerne Publishing’s planned expansion into European and Russian markets is as fascinating as it is challenging. While the opportunity to participate in this exciting new venture is extremely appealing, I must, unfortunately, withdraw my name from consideration. I had hoped to be able to accept an international assignment, but have recently been offered additional responsibilities in my current position, which will also involve limited travel overseas. Nonetheless, I want to thank you for allowing me to explore what promises to be a career-making opportunity for the executive fortunate enough to be selected. Meeting you was a pleasure, and I will stay in touch. My best wishes for your continued success. Sincerely,
