  The acceptance leave letter is a thank you reply letter, so it should not be long. The reason should be clearly defined and try mentioning it in the initial lines of the letter. You want to be courteous and thankful but at the same time you should always maintain your professionalism as well. It is very important that your letter contains all the information that is required so that the main aspect of the letter is understood quickly.
