My reply - Dear sir,
Thank you for your prompt response to my application and I am glad that you could assess my application and make an offer in such short period of time. I would be delighted to work in your organization as I believe it would give me the required give me the required growth and experience to help me shape my career further However, I regret to inform that the remuneration offered is very insufficient in contrast to my exception and my current remuneration as well.
Though I believe that learning is an integral aspect of a professional pursuit and remuneration shall only be a secondary concern, however ,based on my personal interaction, I believe I have expressed my views on a sustainable compensation model as well. The salary offered from you end, unfortunately is even lower than what I drew in my first job as a fresher 8 months ago and far lower than what I am drawing currently, albeit being in a non-corporate profile. For reference, I am attaching my offer letters from my previous organizations and I strongly believe than anything below the vicinity of my current drawn salary or that of my last organization is detrimental to my economical prospects, and professional integrity. I acknowledge that it would not be reasonable to ask for a hike at-par, but still, if you can keep that in consideration, I shall be more than glad to join your organization. If required, I can be available for a personal interaction to discuss the same as well.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter,
Regards
