What came back
Hi Sam, Thank you for offering me the Senior Data Analyst position, and for how helpful you've been throughout this process. It made a real difference. I want to give this the consideration it deserves rather than rush an answer by Friday. I have a second interview scheduled for next Tuesday with another company, and I'd like to see that through before committing so I can make a clear-headed decision. Could I get back to you by Wednesday of next week instead? I'm genuinely interested in this role and in working with the team at Meridian Health. This isn't about hesitation on my end, just wanting to be sure before I say yes. Thanks again for your patience, and let me know if Wednesday works on your end. [Your name]
When to use it
Use this at the point where an offer is in your inbox and the reply feels riskier than it should. It handles the three replies people get stuck on: accepting without sounding flippant, declining without burning the bridge, and asking for more time without seeming uninterested.
