Dear Mr/s (Person you met):
Opening: Thank them for the opportunity to interview / meet with them at (event,
day). Express appreciation for their time and interest. Refer to the content of your
conversation.
Middle: If this is being sent after a job interview, restate your interest in the
position discussed. Remind them of one or two of your strengths or background
that match their needs. Or state again why you are interested in working for their
company. (If you are no longer interested in being considered for the position,
state that. No third paragraph would be needed.)
Closing: Restate your understanding, from your discussion, of what happens
next—for example, that you will send additional information, if requested (such as
your transcript, references or writing sample) and that you look forward to
hearing from them in the time frame they stated. If it was not an interview but just
a brief meeting, you can restate whatever is appropriate to your situation – for
example, that you will apply through their web site, or by sending your updated
information at the a later date.
Sincerely,
Signature
Your Name Typed
