Yes, I did.  Usually I turn down job offers on these conditions:

* It is not in my line of specialty.  I'm a writer, and sometimes I get offers to do graphic design or do medical transcription.  I am not adept at graphic design; and although, I can do transcription, I am not very familiar with medical terms.  So, it's useless for me to do these things - it will only do harm than good to the project.

* If I sense that there is no clear-cut job description.

* If the pay is not commensurate to the job requirement.

* If the nature of the company runs counter to my principles. I encountered one offer from an organization that I suspect has been involved in scandalous activities.  That's why I readily turned it down.

 

In my letters (e-mails) I stated my reasons politely in a manner that did not sound offensive to the employer.

I don't think it is a proper way to turn down a job. I guess the best way is either face to face or through the phone. May be if you can't reach the HR representative then you can just send a mail.

No, you do this in personal, people take the time to interview you, so take the time to inform them as well.
