SUGGESTED SUBJECT: Update on Your Application to Woculus
Mr. Vijay,
Thank you for your recent application to become a writer on Woculus. We are very much complimented that you would like to write for Woculus.
Your application details will be retained in our files. Currently, we do not have any vacant sections; and our writers are on top of their jobs. We shall, however, contact you as soon as we have an opening.

Sample 3 – Approving Application for a Different Position
SUGGESTED SUBJECT: Application Update!
Dear Mr. Frank,
Thank you for applying for the opening in our company and sending your design samples. I have reviewed your style and thought about the issues you raised during our last discussion, especially your reluctance to create new design samples for our evaluation. Since then, I have received new design samples from more than ten candidates, lending credence to their works.
Eventually, I concluded that your samples are not enough to help me reach a conclusion about you. So, we now have a new Chief Designer for our company.
However, I would be happy to work with you on a contract basis if you agree to this.
Thanks again, Frank, for your interest in our company.
Cordially,
Sample 4 – Declining an Invitation
SUGGESTED SUBJECT: Your Facebook App Evaluation
Dear Miss Sheryl,
Pardon the delay in responding to your last email. I have been in the process of setting up my own social network; so I had to resign from Facebook Inc.
I very much appreciate your invitation to help evaluate the Facebook App you are developing this time, but this may not be in the best interest of Facebook’s management. You may contact some other editors on the Facebook forum.
Thank you for understanding.
Best regards,
Sample 5 – Declining an Appointment
SUGGESTED SUBJECT: Apologies. I appreciate your offer.
Dear Mr. Mohammed,
I was flattered by your request to make me a minister in your church branch in the Bahamas. Regrettably, I won’t be able to accept this position. I’m sorry.
I wish you well in the Bahamas
Yours truly,

Sample 10 – Professional Response to Email Inquiry for Information
SUGGESTED SUBJECT: Feedback on Your Inquiry About the Email Software
Dear Ms. Abike,
Thank you for inquiring about the email software advertised on my blog. Each of the listed software functions uniquely on different platforms. Before I recommend a particular one, I would like to know a bit more about you and your needs:
1. What kind of business do you handle? Are you self-employed, a manager, or a business owner?
2. Will you be using the software on a mobile device or computer? Is your computer a Mac or a PC?
3. What kind of emails do you send most often? Are they replies to customer questions, business-to-business information, or just emails for team members?
Once again, thank you for your interest in purchasing some of the email software advertised on my site. I hope you will find them suitable for your business needs.
Cordially,
Ayo

Find attached the email marketing course you requested. As I said on my website, I’ll keep sending updated versions of the course from time to time. Ensure you carefully study the first chapter of the course. It will provide a solid base on which every other information in the course anchors.
I hope your email campaigns are already bringing good results. Let me know if I can be of assistance in any way possible.
Yours truly,
James Blunt
