Reneging on an offer at a boutique. I plan to call the person who referred me to thank them and apologize, but do I owe the hiring manager or recruiter a call or does an email suffice?

I feel horrible about it but my counter offer is too good to pass up, even if it means burning a bridge.

Anyone works as recruiter in Oracle or recently interviewed with Oracle, please let me know.

1. What is the best approach to collecting your fee? Each session? Pay the package cost upfront,? Other, and if so, what is it?
2. How do you collect it? Venmo? Credit card?
3. Do you have to register your business?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.
