Offer Letter Templates: How To Write & Examples

Need to write an offer letter? Here are 3 simple steps to get started:

1. Gather the information you need to know.

Before you write anything, you need to know who or what you're writing about. The more specific you are, the more personalized you can make your content.

Here's our suggestions for writing an offer letter:

Candidate's name: [name of candidate]
Position title: [title of position]
Responsibilities: [e.g. managing a team, developing a product, etc.]
Compensation package: [e.g. salary, equity, etc.]
Benefits: [e.g. health insurance, 401k matching, etc.]

2. Determine the structure of your output.

The structure of your content is just as important as the content itself. The structure of your content is how you're going to arrange the information in the content to make it easier for the readers to read and understand.

Address the reader
Thank them for their interest in the position
Describe the position and its responsibilities
Describe the compensation package and benefits
Explain how to accept or decline the offer

3. Write the content or use Copy.ai to help you get started. Once you have your structure down, you can start writing the content.
