Dear _________________:
Thank you for offering me the position of _________________. I appreciate the confidence you have shown in my abilities, and I recognize how much effort and time you have put into the search process. However, I am sorry to inform you that I must decline the offer.
My current employer approached me recently when they realized that I had been interviewing elsewhere. After lengthy discussions, I have come to a new arrangement with my present employer. This new arrangement enables me to fulfill many of the objectives I had been pursuing elsewhere without the personal strain of relocating.
When we spoke, I was certainly sincere in my intentions to change jobs. I am very sorry for any inconvenience this process has caused you. I wish you success in finding a suitable candidate for the position.
Sincerely,
