Just to provide some additional info.
The latest Tier 2 Policy Guidance (version 04/2014) - Annex A3, states that:
"
A3. What should you do if you do not want to take up the job you have been sponsored for?
240. If you have already been granted entry clearance and you no longer want to come to the UK, you should tell your sponsor.
241. If you do not want to take up the job because you want to work for a different sponsor, you must ask the sponsor to withdraw the Certificate of Sponsorship. You must contact the sponsor in writing or by email and give it five working days to withdraw the certificate.
If the sponsor fails to do so, you should send a reminder. If the sponsor does not withdraw the Certificate of Sponsorship within a further five working days, you should contact us by writing to us at:
Sponsor Licensing Unit
UK Visas and Immigration
Home Office
PO Box 3468
Sheffield
S3 8WA
243. You must provide:
• your full name; and
• your nationality; and
• the name of the sponsor you no longer wish to work for; and
• the Certificate of Sponsorship reference number you wish to be cancelled; and
• the name of any other sponsor you wish to work for; and
• the reason why you wish the Certificate of Sponsorship to be cancelled; and
• the date you first contacted the sponsor to ask for the Certificate of Sponsorship to be cancelled; and
• the date you contacted the sponsor again to remind them to cancel the Certificate of Sponsorship; and
• a copy of any correspondence sent to your sponsor, which must clearly show who the correspondence was addressed to within the sponsoring organisation; and
• any correspondence from that sponsor in connection with those requests (for example, any acknowledgement e-mails or letters).
We will cancel the Certificate of Sponsorship if necessary after discussions with the sponsor.
If you do not want to come to the UK, you should tell your sponsor and ask them to withdraw the Certificate of Sponsorship.
You do not need to contact us as the Certificate of Sponsorship will automatically expire three months after it was assigned.
