Thank-you notes and replying to offers

How do I accept a job offer by email?

Thank them, state clearly that you accept, confirm the key details (role, start date and anything agreed) and ask about next steps. Keep it warm and professional.

Example:
"Subject: Acceptance of offer – Senior Planner – Mohammed Ali

Before you accept, read the written offer in full. Check that the role, package and start date match what was discussed.
