Letter of Appointment

This formal letter of appointment will serve as an assurance
to a prospective employee of a position with the new company,
in order to tender his/her resignation at a current place of work.

An employment offer letter would typically be issued first.



congratulations you got the job



Difference Between an Offer of Employment and the Actual Letter of Appointment

An Offer of Employment is extended to a succesful candidate but the process is still ongoing until the candidate accepts the offer.

Upon acceptance of the job offer, other candidates can then be informed in a Letter of Regret that they were not succesful. It's up to you to decide how detailed you want to make the employment offer letter.

It need not cover all the details of the job but you can confirm the major points as discussed during the interview, notably the position, salary, place of work and the starting date.

A written Letter of Appointment is then issued once the successful applicant accepts the offer of employment.

This will confirm and spell out more details as we show in our letter of appointment below.

Please note, this letter of appointment is not a substitute for an employment contract!
