Dear _________________:
Thank you for your offer of the position of _________________. I appreciate the confidence you have expressed in my ability to do the job.
After studying your offer carefully and discussing the terms with my spouse, I must decline the offer. The compensation package is not substantially greater than what I am receiving at my current job, and the responsibilities and time demands would be much greater.
I thank you for your offer, and I wish you good luck in finding a suitable candidate for the job.
Sincerely,
