Dear [Recipient first name],

 

Re: [insert job title]

Thank you for attending an interview for this job.

After careful deliberation, we have decided that another candidate for the position you applied for was better qualified for the job specifications. This does not reflect on your background or character. Those in our company who interviewed you were impressed with your experience and background.

[I enclose the unopened health questionnaire or declaration and criminal convictions form that you handed in when you came for interview.]

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the work you have put into applying for this job and in attending the interview. I realise this decision may be disappointing for you. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in the company. I hope that you will not be discouraged from applying for jobs that may arise in the future.

[If you would like feedback on the outcome of your application I will be happy to arrange this. Please contact [insert name and contact details].]

Thank you again for your interest in the position and best wishes in your future endeavours.

Yours [faithfully | sincerely],
