Hi [HIRING MANAGER],

Thank you for connecting with me yesterday. I am incredibly excited  about the opportunity to work at [COMPANY] as a [POSITION].

That said, after taking some time to review the offer letter & company benefits, I was wondering if you would be open to negotiating the following items:

  • Request #1

  • Request #2

I appreciate you taking the time to review these requests. If you would prefer to discuss them over the phone, I'm happy to connect live. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

All the best,

[YOUR NAME]
