Cover Letter for Finance Job
Extending Response Deadline Letter
Richard Anderson,
1234, West 67 Street,
Carlisle, MA 01741,
(123)-456 7890.
Date: 1st May, 2005.
Mr. John Smith,
Marketing Director
Fanfare Publishing Company
257, Park Avenue South,
New York, NY 12345-6789.
Dear Mr. Smith,
I think you know how serious I am about the [title] position you have offered and how
pleased I am to have received the offer. I do have some other personal commitments that I
am rapidly trying to bring to closure. These obligations will influence my decision, and I
find that I will need some additional time to respond to your offer.
The opportunity with Fanfare Publishing is outstanding. I am still active in the
interviewing process that I began several months ago, however, and want to see those
opportunities through to conclusion to ensure making the best decision for me and for my
future employer.
I anticipate being able to give you a firm answer by April 20xx. Please let me know if this
is acceptable. Again, I am delighted with the offer and appreciate your understanding.
Sincerely,
Richard Anderson.
