I'm going to decline my job offer. Something along the lines of... "My listed expected salary was well considered, and perhaps I'm naive but I hoped it would be well considered by management too. Unless you are willing to meet my expected salary then I decline your offer. I did not intend to waste your time. Thank you for your consideration."
"As we have been unable to agree on salary for the position, it is with regret that I will be declining the offer. I'd like to thank everyone involved in the interview for their efforts. Regards Force_maj"
Don't apologise; they also wasted your time; they know what a reasonable salary is and they're assholes for not offering it.
e: reverse the opening line: "It is with regret that I will be declining the offer as we are unable to agree on the appropriate salary for the position."
This is the one.
"notwithstanding aforementioned salary expectations, you're a bunch of tightarses".
Perfectly reasonable response.
