Don't worry about it. You won't be the first nor the last person who changes their mind on a job change, and I promise they have had it happen before. To retract your acceptance you should just need to terse but professional. The general format would be:
- A sentence indicating you're withdrawing your acceptance of the offer.
- One or two sentences explaining you have an unforeseen unique opportunity. No need for great detail.
- One or two sentences thanking them for their consideration, and hope for future opportunities together.
That's really all there is to it. A professional company that values it's people will understand that these things happen in life and will not hold any thing against you.
