Dear Dr. Lang:
I am writing to inform you that I am withdrawing my application for the program coordinator position with the school. As I indicated in my interview with you, I have been exploring several employment possibilities. This week I was offered an administrative position with a local city government and, after careful consideration, I decided to accept it. The position provides a very good match for my interests at this point in my career.
I want to thank you very much for interviewing and considering me for your position. I enjoyed meeting you and learning about the innovative community programs you are planning. You have a fine school and I wish you and your staff well.
Sincerely,
Heather Ferguson
Heather Ferguson
