An offer letter is a letter issued by a company to a potential employee that provides crucial terms of the prospective employee's employment. It is a written document issued by an employer to a candidate who is selected for a job. Companies can offer jobs via email or a written letter.

It's always good to have written confirmation of the offer so that both, the employer and the employee, get approval about the terms and conditions. An offer letter, also called a Letter of Intent, is given by the company to a candidate interviewed by them. It is a letter where the company extends an offer to a person to work with their company. The company can any time revoke the offer mentioned as per their strategies, and even the candidate can revoke the offer if he is not convinced with the offer specified.

Later, a joining letter is given by the company. It can be considered as an acceptance letter by the person who received the offer letter. After accepting the offer letter, the candidate writes an email by expressing his interest to join the company.

CONTENT
