Thank You Letter Template
This free sample thank you letter template suggests how to write
an interview thank you letter and provides the format. Although
it adheres to "standards" on the Web, it's not set in
concrete. It's just to give you ideas about what to write in yours,
while providing the format to make it easier for you.
You may download, personalize and otherwise edit this free thank
you letter template to send to your interviewers after job interviews,
or simply use it as an example to write your own from scratch.
It's an RTF file format, which is compatible with most word processors
(such as Microsoft® Word) and safe to download.
But first, please read the Important notice below,
which includes the download link.
Because of differences in the way that Web browsers and word processors
display pages, the format of the thank you letter template displayed
below differs slightly from the download version created in a word
processor.
For a plain-text (ASCII) version, just copy the text of the thank
you letter template from your screen and then paste it into a word
processor or text editor, such as Windows® Notepad. You might
lose some formatting in copying, but it'll be easy to fix.
This thank you letter template is in a full-block style, business-letter
format. But when emailing thank you letters, they don't necessarily
need to be quite as formally formatted.
For example, you could delete the letterhead, date and recipient's
address if you wish, because an email will automatically include
informal equivalents. It's a good idea to keep at least the salutation
(Dear...) and complimentary close (Sincerely...),
but you can change them to your preference.

Dear [Interviewer's name]:
[Thank the interviewer. Mention the day of the interview
and job title. Keep your thank you letter to one page.]
[Express your interest in the company. Say that you want
the job. Deliver a subtle sales pitch indicating why you
think you're qualified for the job, based on matters discussed
in your interview. State what you can do for the company,
department, team, etc.]
[If you forgot to mention something important during your
interview, this is your second chance. But, don't say you
forgot! Just include it.]
[Mention topics that piqued your interest or something to
make you stand out in the interviewer's mind. For example,
if you both chuckled about something, mention it; if one
of your skills, work habits, etc. seemed to interest the
interviewer, bring it up again; if something the interviewer
said about the job or company interested you, mention it.]
[Start wrapping it up here, by again saying thank you for
the interview. Offer to answer questions, address concerns
or generally provide more information. Provide a full phone
number at which you are easily reachable, even if it's in
the letterhead. Indicate that you look forward to hearing
from the interviewer.]
