Start by thanking the employer for the offer. Show appreciation for their interest in you. If you're happy in your current job but are considering the offer, it's fine to mention that. You can say you're evaluating your options but want to be transparent about your current employment.
You don't burn bridges if you respectfully decline any offer of employment. Just say, ``Thanks for the wonderful opportunity; I really wish I could work with you but I just accepted something else.'' You don't owe them an explanation of why.
When accepting a job offer, it is typically appropriate to respond with a formal letter or email that includes the following: Express gratitude and excitement about the opportunity. For example, ``I am excited and grateful to accept the position of (job title) at (company name).''
You can say something like ``I regret to inform you that I will not be accepting the (job title) position.'' If appropriate, you can briefly explain your reasons for declining, such as the position not being the right fit or you accepting an offer elsewhere. However, avoid going into too much detail.
If the HR doesn't reply after a job offer, consider sending a polite follow-up email expressing your continued interest in the position and seeking clarification on the next steps or the expected timeline for a response. Avoid being too persistent, but demonstrate your eagerness and professionalism.
``Thank you for the offer. It wasn't an easy decision, but I've decided to take a role with another company. I really respect the catalogue of work from (your company), and hope we have a chance to work with each other at a later time.''
Email again. Let them know about the situation with the recruiter's lack of response. The hiring manager may be able to provide you with more information or assist you in connecting with someone else in HR.

Avoid being too persistent, but demonstrate your eagerness and professionalism.
As soon as you accept the job offer, send a thank-you email to the hiring manager and anyone else who was involved in the process. Express your enthusiasm and gratitude, and confirm the details of your employment, such as the start date, salary, benefits, and expectations.
General Expectations: Typically, it's best to respond within a few days, especially if you're interested in the position. Delaying your acceptance until close to the two-week deadline might raise concerns for the employer about your enthusiasm or commitment.
