MrsMB or other recruiter/hiring manager types

[wanderingenough]

Any advice on turning down a job offer? An offer came through on a position and I'm just not excited about it and don't think it is the next step I want. I've developed a great relationship with the Director and the Manager seems great, so I feel bad about (though logically I know I was interviewing them too--so it happens). I'd prefer to send them and the recruiter emails. Any advice on the best way to word it?
