Dear Ms. Funston,
I am writing regarding your company’s offer of employment. I am very grateful for this offer and am strongly considering accepting it. However, I have concerns regarding your request for an answer by May 1, 2012.
As you know, accepting this offer would require relocating my family across several states. My wife works for a small company that does not have an office near Harpersville. I also have a child in high school, as well as one in elementary school. In addition, my wife, who is an only child, spends a great deal of time caring for her mother who lives in an assisted living facility here. As a result, I would like to ask if you might consider giving me an additional month to consider your offer. This time would be very beneficial to myself and my family as we explore all of our housing, educational, occupational, and long-term care options in our potential new home.
Again, I am pleased with your offer, and I hope you will allow me this additional time to give it the proper consideration. If you are in agreement, I would be happy to provide you with my response by June 1, 2012. Please let me know if this extension can be made. Thank you in advance for your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Daniel Caldwell
