I hope you are doing well. Thank you for extending me an offer for the Job Title position. I am excited about the opportunity and am excited to move forward with the hiring process. I would be grateful if you could provide me with a formal, written offer, including the expected start date, salary, and benefits.
Dear Name of Hiring Manager, Thank you for your generous offer to join Company as Job Title. I sincerely appreciate the offer and your interest in hiring me. After much deliberation, I will not be accepting the job offer, as it is unfortunately not the right fit for my career goals/interests.
I look forward to putting my skills to good use at your company. Is it possible to have a few days to respond to the job offer? I remain honored to be considered for the position and I want to make sure I fully understand the job offer before making a major decision. Thanks again for the opportunity!"
Wait a Reasonable Amount of Time: Allow a few days to a week for HR to respond. Sometimes, internal processes can cause delays. Follow Up with a Polite Email: If you haven't heard back after a week, send a polite follow-up email.
Express Gratitude : Start by thanking the employer for the offer. Show appreciation for the opportunity. Be Honest and Direct : Clearly state that you need more time to consider the offer. Request a Specific Extension : Politely ask for a specific amount of additional time, such as a few days
Literally just say that you greatly appreciate the offer and consideration, but you would like a few days to consider the position. You don't need to say anything more or less. You don't want to work for a company that would be offended by that notion.
I would like to thank you for offering me the (position name) role. I appreciate the opportunity and am very interested in the position. I am eager to review the job requirements and responsibilities in more detail, and would like some additional time to consider the offer.
Just politely follow up, explain you're very interested but understand that hiring can take time, and ask if they have an updated timeline. It's completely legitimate to ask this; employers assume you have other balls in the air and need to be able to plan.

Try this: “I'm really excited about this position, and it's my first choice. So, I wanted to let you know that I have another offer that I have to respond to by Friday. Do you know when you'll be making a decision?”
