Your acceptance email does more than say yes. It confirms the terms you agreed, protects you if anything was only said on a call, and sets a professional tone before your first day. This guide gives you job offer acceptance email templates for a simple acceptance, an acceptance after you negotiated, and an acceptance that confirms your start date — plus a checklist of what to confirm before you hit send.
Do not resign yet: Wait until you have the final written offer — including any revised terms — before you resign from your current job.
Accepting the offer:
Subject: Acceptance of offer — [Job title] Dear [Name], Thank you for offering me the position of [Job title] at [Company]. I am delighted to accept. As discussed, I understand my starting salary will be [amount] and my start date will be [date]. Please let me know if there is anything you need from me before then. I look forward to joining the team. Kind regards, [Your name]
If you agreed changes on a call, list them in your acceptance and ask for the updated written offer. This avoids misunderstandings later.
Accepting revised terms:
Subject: Acceptance of revised offer — [Job title] Hi [Name], Thank you for working with me on the offer. I'm happy to accept the revised terms we discussed: - Base salary of [amount] - Signing bonus of [amount] - Salary review after [six months] Could you please send the updated offer letter with these details? I'll sign and return it as soon as I receive it. I'm excited to get started. Best regards, [Your name]
Accepting with start date:
Subject: Acceptance of offer — [Job title] Dear [Name], Thank you — I am pleased to accept the offer for the [Job title] role. My current notice period is [length], so I would be able to start on [date]. Please let me know if that works, and what I should expect on my first day. Kind regards, [Your name]
Short reply:
Hi [Name], Thank you so much — I'm delighted to accept the offer, and I look forward to receiving the contract. Best regards, [Your name]
Many people accept verbally on a call and then send the email to confirm. Either order works, but always make sure your acceptance and the final terms are in writing.
In the book: Worth It walks you through the whole offer, from the first salary question to the signed contract, with a negotiation timeline and an offer evaluation checklist.
Negotiate the offer before you accept it — with word-for-word scripts. See the book: Worth It
Thank them, say you accept, confirm the salary, start date and any terms you agreed, and ask for anything you need before day one.
Yes. Restating the salary and any negotiated terms gives you a written record and avoids misunderstandings.
It is best not to. Accepting usually closes the negotiation, so agree all terms before you say yes.
After you have the final written offer with all agreed terms, and ideally after any conditions, such as background checks, are cleared.
Either, but always confirm in writing. Many people accept on a call and follow up with an email.
