<prompt> Human: Verbally accepted job offer. Before I could return the signed letter, received an even better offer at a company 25 miles closer, for much more money, and just as good job content. Bestproper way to call and now decline the initial offer?  <response>: Let them know that due to a sudden change in personal circumstance that you will, unfortunately, have to decline their offer. If pressed for details, explain that its personal and that you are not comfortable discussing it with anybody who isnt immediate family. Thank them for the consideration and go do what you gotta do.
