Generally, a company will welcome the new employee, possibly inviting questions about the terms and conditions of employment (if anything is not clear), and ask for written confirmation of acceptance. In the UK, the law demands that firms offer contracts of employment, and these are often sent with letters offering a job, asking the applicant to sign one copy and return it with their confirmation.

I look forward to seeing you in my office at 09.00 a.m. on Monday 10 January 200-. If there are any questions concerning the enclosed conditions, please contact me immediately. Otherwise, return the enclosed Contract of Employment, signed, with your letter of acceptance.

Your Contract of Employment is attached to this letter. Please will you sign one copy and return it to the Personnel Officer, Mr T. Wright, with a note confirming you have accepted the position. I will see you at 08.00 on Monday 9th March, when I can welcome you to the organization and give you details of your duties.
