[General] Many thanks for your

[suniljain]

Somebody sent me the offer letter. I want to borrow sometime and want to ask them to increase it to certain level. Should I reply as below:


Many thanks for your offer. Please give me couple of days time to revert.

Are the above sentences OK. Please suggest any better way to write wherein I can mention my expectation to offer me higher salary as well as I can borrow sometime to revert.

Thanks

Offers for jobs or study courses usually indicate a specified period for which the offer remains valid. Do you need to ask for time beyond that?

Your use of "revert" is strange, at least in AmE. I would use "respond" or "reply".

 

[MikeNewYork]

I sensed that that might be the case.

See my changes above.

They have presumably given you a date by which they want you to respond. I would mention that date in your letter and then say exactly how much longer you want to be given. I certainly would not mention an "expectation" of a higher salary. I would perhaps ask if the salary is negotiable.

"Some time" is two words for the meaning you intend.
