Is this an appropriate email to send a Big 4 accounting recruiter that I'm reneging on in favor of a banking job?

Hello ______, It is with great difficulty that I've decided and regretfully have to inform you I will not be able to join ______ as an intern this summer. I have been fortunate enough to receive an opportunity that is more in line with my career goals and that is the sole basis for this decision. I thank you and ______ for your time and consideration and apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause you.

Regards,


is that firm enough for them to understand im terminating my offer/ does just emailing my head recruiter suffice for reneging an accepted offer? thanks
