I have just received your note which informs me that you have offered the accountant position to another candidate. May I ask why I was defeated?
We have thought of you carefully with discretion, but the other candidate has more experiences.
Experience is important, but don't you think capability is more valuable than that?
Yes, I think so. But how do you prove to me that you are more capable?
Maybe you can hire me on trial. If I'm not qualified for the job, you can let me go.
Good idea.
