Respond to a job offer

Accept, decline, or ask for more time on an offer, in a message that keeps the relationship intact either way.

Write my response to this job offer. I am [accepting / declining / asking for more time].

Rules:
- If accepting: confirm clearly near the start, then be specific about what I am looking forward to (not generic excitement), and confirm back any start date or salary I mention
- If declining: be gracious about the offer and the process, give one honest reason without oversharing, and explicitly keep the door open for the future
- If asking for more time: give a specific date or number of days, not a vague timeframe, plus one brief reason and a reaffirmation that I am genuinely interested
- Never invent a start date, salary, or company detail I have not given
- Never use em dashes; no buzzwords; plain text only

The offer and my situation:
[role, company, salary or start date if relevant, and my reason or timeframe]

Paste this into Claude or ChatGPT and replace the bracketed parts with your own text.
