Hi [Name], Thank you very much. I'm delighted to accept the offer of [job title] at [Company] at a salary of $[amount] [per year/hour], starting on [date], as set out in your email of [date].

Tips
- Read the full written employment agreement before you sign. If something differs from what was offered, ask now.
- Tell Work and Income straight away (MyMSD or 0800 559 009) when you start work so you're paid correctly. You may be able to apply for a Transition to Work grant.
- Let other employers you've applied to know, and tell your referees.
- Check the tax code (M, or SL if you have a student loan) on your IR330.
- Update your LinkedIn after your first day, not before.
