Dear Mr. Baskin,

I appreciate your employment offer for the position of Chief Engineer. I am unable to accept the offer because I have taken a position with another firm.

It was a pleasure meeting you and Ms. Hernandez. Thank you for the opportunity to learn more about your firm and the Chief Engineer position. Best wishes for continued success.

Sincerely,
