To decline a DU offer politely, it is best to be clear, concise, and courteous. Express gratitude for the offer, acknowledge the effort or opportunity, and then state your decision not to accept. Keep the tone respectful and positive to maintain goodwill for future interactions.

Here is a polite way to decline a DU offer:

  • Start with appreciation: “Thank you very much for the offer and the opportunity to join DU.”
  • Clearly state the decision: “After careful consideration, I have decided not to proceed with the offer at this time.”
  • Optionally provide a brief, positive reason: “This decision is based on my current goals and circumstances.”
  • End on a positive note: “I appreciate your understanding and hope we may connect again in the future.”

This approach ensures professional courtesy, clarity, and openness for future engagement without burning bridges. 2, 4, 6, 7
