Dear Lee,

Further to my letter dated <date> and our conversation earlier today, I write to confirm that I will not now be leaving the company at the end of my notice period.

As you know, I resigned from my position because I was offered a job by <company> as <job title>. Having spent < time spent> here with you I felt that perhaps it was time to move on to a different challenge and gain valuable career experience elsewhere. However, in our discussions since then, you have persuaded me that our company faces a period of exciting growth of which I can be a part. I also look forward to the planned expansion of our department and will endeavour to build an accomplished (and profitable!) team of <teamsters>. Of course, the pay raise you gave me also helps!

I would like to thank you for helping me come to this decision and hope that my work here can be even more fulfilling and productive than before.

Yours sincerely,
