Text: Letter

Dear Mrs. Lawson,

I wish to thank you for the opportunity you offered me during our last meeting. I feel honored that you would consider me for such a prestigious job. The position that you suggested is of great interest to me and I think I could thrive within your company. However, the salary is not in adequacy with my expectations or my needs. With ten years of experience at the head of a multinational marketing team, I think my experience speaks for itself. I believe I will be an asset to your company due to the solid, successful projects I have under my belt and the extensive network I have created. I am therefore asking you to reconsider the proposal you made while taking my interest and experience into consideration.

I look forward to hearing from you and I hope we can come to a solution that meets both our needs.

Kind regards,

Sarah Ashley
