coherence cohesion
The letter is generally well-organized, but can benefit from clearer paragraphing and better cohesion between ideas. Consider introducing each paragraph with a topic sentence that summarises the paragraph's main idea. Also, make sure that each idea flows smoothly into the next with appropriate use of connectors.

While you have addressed the main tasks, there is room to develop the reasons for declining the offer and the benefits of staying with your current job more fully. Include more details and specific examples to explain your decision clearly, which will help achieve a more complete and developed response.
