So... As you might have read in the finance thread.. I'm possibly moving from NY to Texas for a New Career opportunity. I'm a 911 dispatcher, and have received an offer for an excellent opportunity. I have never had to negotiate salary before, and wanted some advice on properly, effectively and professionally negotiating.
This is what I have so far......

Ms. ***
Just a quick e-mail to let you know what's going on. I'm ecstatic to say the least, to have the opportunity to work for ****. This is obviously a great opportunity for my family and myself. I don't know if you understand just how much I want to accept this job, and for that I thank Josh, and yourself for giving me that opportunity.
I have my financial advisor looking into your offer of $****/ hour. Obviously I need to be able to afford the new salary, and maintain the ability to produce for my family. So, far its very tight as far as our budget will be. Anything that you can do to help in that area would be greatly appreciated, even if it is as little as one more dollar. Currently I'm making **** per hour, and I get my benefits as no additional cost. I know that matching my current salary would probably be impossible, but what about splitting the difference? Please see what you can do to try and make this transition process for myself and my family slightly easier.
Please see what you can do, and let me know. In addition to my experience I'm more than confident that all my training and experience including EMD,EFD, APCO dispatcher and my EMT/Firefighter will aid in my ability to produce the type of employee that ***** is seeking. I assure that I will not disappoint.
