Dear [Recipient Name]:

The first paragraph should thank the individual that interviewed you, mentioning the

specific title of the position and date. It should include a leading sentence of your

qualification and the paragraph should be no longer than three sentences.

The second paragraph should focus on a specific topic covered in the interview that

shows you are a strong candidate for the position. In this statement, you should tie your

strength back to the company’s projects or goals. The paragraph should be

approximately three to five sentences.

You may choose to do a third paragraph, if you think you did not cover something that

makes you a strong candidate or you felt that you didn’t answer something to the best of

your ability. In this statement, you may want to reiterate a skill, knowledge or

qualification that makes you a good candidate. This paragraph should be two to five

sentences.

The last paragraph emphasizes your enthusiasm for the position, the best time and

phone number to reach you and mention any follow-up date that you obtained during the

interview. This should be two to three sentences.

Sincerely,

JAMES LEAKS
