Document background
The Counter Offer Rejection Letter is an essential document in Nigerian business negotiations, used when an original offering party needs to formally decline terms proposed in a counter offer. This document is particularly important in the Nigerian legal context, where clear written communication in contract negotiations is crucial for legal certainty. The letter should be used when a party wishes to definitively reject modified terms proposed by the other party, effectively ending that particular negotiation cycle. It typically includes reference to the original offer, acknowledgment of the counter offer received, clear rejection statement, and optional explanations or alternative proposals. The document helps maintain professional relationships while creating a clear paper trail for legal purposes, adhering to Nigerian contract law principles and commercial practices.
