Document background
The Regret Letter is a crucial business communication tool in the Indonesian corporate environment, used to formally decline job applications, business proposals, tender submissions, or partnership requests. It must be drafted in accordance with Indonesian law, particularly the Civil Code (KUHPer) and Law No. 13 of 2003 on Employment when used in recruitment contexts. The document typically includes the decision, a brief explanation (when appropriate), and maintains professional courtesy while considering local business customs. A well-drafted regret letter helps organizations maintain professional relationships despite negative decisions and can protect against potential legal issues by ensuring clear, documented communication.
