Dear Ms. Peabody,
Thank you for your offer of employment. I reviewed the benefits and am pleased with them, but the salary you are offering is too low. At the second interview I attended, I was assured that I would receive a salary no lower than $85,000 a year. Accepting the job at YTP means that I will have to move my family to a state with a higher cost of living than the one I currently reside in. Since I make $70,000 a year now, there is no incentive for me to accept the position unless my salary demands are met. Therefore, I conditionally accept the offer. If you raise my pay the above-mentioned number, I can begin the moving process and start work on September 24. If you cannot match that number, then I am afraid I must reject your offer.
Sincerely,
Ryan Crisp

It is my pleasure to announce that we finally have a new head of the IT Department. Ryan Crisp has accepted the job and will begin his first day of work next Monday. Mr. Crisp attended the University of Texas, where he double-majored in physics and economics. After graduating, he worked at Fairmount Manufacturing for three years and then Haverford, Inc. for four years. His last place of employment was the Landers Company, where he worked for three years.
On Monday at 10 A.M., we are going to have a reception for him. Everyone in the department should attend. We will also have lunch together at Benson’s at noon. Please don’t bother Mr. Crisp with your problems on the first day of work. He’s going to be meeting with each of you individually on Wednesday and Thursday, so you can discuss any issues or projects you’d like to work on with him then.
