withdrawal letter is written to end the ties with an organization or an individual. The withdrawal letter should begin with a polite salutation and then the reason should be highlighted for withdrawal
A withdrawal letter is written to express an applicant’s intention to withdraw or terminate his/her ongoing application to an institution, company or organisation. Events in our life are often unpredictable and very often they force us to rethink our choices and decisions. A withdrawal letter will help us to redirect and reorient the course we originally intended to take and pursue a different path.
A withdrawal letter is often written in a professional or academic context. It can be written by a student who does not wish to enrol in a particular institution or course; a consumer can also write this or client who seeks to withdraw from a business contract or it could be written by an employee who wants to withdraw from a job application.
In the educational sector, as mentioned earlier, a student or parent may write a letter of withdrawal from school or from college, if they or their children are unable to purse a specific course.
Within the context of job applications, if we have applied to a variety of jobs, we are often faced with the task of having to reject one position in favour of another. In this situation we write letter of withdrawal to the company so that they won’t follow up on that application. A withdrawal letter is issued so as to make clear an individual’s unavailability for job prospects.
It can even work in the opposite way in the event of a resignation withdrawal. Suppose certain circumstance force an individual to tender a resignation letter to his/her employer, but within a short time those circumstances change, then the employee may write a resignation withdrawal letter expressing a desire to continue working there.
Employers and academic professional may greatly appreciate a withdrawal letter from a candidate because it leaves them free to consider other genuine applicants.
State the reason clearly: As with any formal and professional correspondence it is essential that you state the reason for withdrawing clearly.
Be polite and to the point, even if the reason and circumstances for withdrawing are unfavourable
Give all your contact details in case the employer may need to contact you regarding legal formalities that need to be completed before withdrawing.
Make it clear that, circumstances being otherwise, you are open to accepting a position in future so that you keep your options open.

Dear Sir,
I am writing this to your establishment so as to let you know that I have decided to withdraw my application. If you will recall, I had earlier submitted an application for the post of a senior clerical officer in your company. However, due to some circumstances beyond my control I will be forced to withdraw my application. I must let you know that it was never my initial plan to withdraw my application.
But, in a case where I have to move to another state under duress and in a very short period of time. Therefore, even if I end up securing the job I will not be able to keep the job because of the distance and even as a result of some other personal reasons. I want to express my appreciation to your company for your kind interest in hiring me.
Yours faithfully,
