The Referral Rejection Letter is a critical business communication tool used when an organization needs to formally decline a candidate who was referred by a professional contact. Under Singapore's legal framework, this document must be crafted carefully to maintain compliance with the Employment Act, Fair Consideration Framework, and Personal Data Protection Act. The letter should balance professional courtesy with legal protection, typically including acknowledgment of the referral, a clear rejection statement, and appropriate appreciation of the referrer's effort, while avoiding any discriminatory language or unintended commitments.
