Dear Bob:

Thank you for your phone call and follow-up letter about my joining you as your rookie salesman. I’m delighted to accept your offer and will be looking forward to the orientation September 1.

As you suggested, I plan to spend my time between now and then studying the specs on the new drilling equipment. I plan to “hit the ground running”; my first effort after September 1 will be to become a shadow to Harry Hines until I learn the equipment and accounts. After that short-term mentoring, I’ll be eager to mold my sales experience to such a fine organization.

Thank you for the confidence you’ve placed in me.

Cordially,
