I appreciate the opportunity to join Company Name as Job Title. I am writing this email to discuss the proposed salary. Based on my qualifications and the industry standards, I anticipated a salary closer to Your Desired Salary. I am keen to work together to find an agreeable solution.
"I'm very excited about the position and know that I'd be the right fit for the team. I'm also excited about your offer. Knowing that I'll bring a lot of value to the table based on my experience that we discussed during the interviews, I'm wondering if we can explore a slightly higher starting salary of $80,000?
Just say that you're excited for the offer and ask if there's anything they can do to bump up the salary. Don't give a specific number unless you absolutely have to. There's always wiggle room in the first offer because they expect you to negotiate. Don't listen to the people saying it's too late now.

I was thrilled to receive your email! Thank you so much for the Position Title opportunity. Before I can formally accept the proposal, I need to discuss base salary. With my 2–3 industry-specific sources of value and history of summary of achievements, I know I will bring great value to Company Name.
You shouldn't do it via email. Ideally, you should offer to come to the office to discuss terms. This allows HR to bring the hiring manager into the discussion. After all, it's usually the hiring manager's budget that would be affected by salary.
Suggest a Specific Amount: Propose a specific salary that you feel is fair and justified. Invite Further Discussion: Show that you are open to negotiation and discussion. Close Professionally: Thank them again and express your hope for a positive response. Dear (Hiring Manager's Name),
