Dear Ms. Lamberto:

I sincerely enjoyed meeting with you yesterday and learning more about the Employment Specialist position at Gateway Resources. Our conversation confirmed my interest in becoming part of your staff.

As I mentioned, my experience with the Best Buddies organization on campus has sparked my interest in serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I am excited about the possibility of being instrumental in the integration of people with IDD into the community through supported employment. I feel confident that my academic background in psychology and business along with my passion for community service would enable me to effectively meet the challenges of this job. 

It was particularly exciting to discover the level of support which is provided by your Board of Trustees. Their work in the community seems to be a critical asset to the mission of your organization. I would look forward to supporting their work, as well.

Please extend my thanks to Mary Mason and Devon Marks for their efforts in making my visit so welcoming and pleasant. 

Sincerely,

Your Name

Dear Mr. Stowe:

Thank you for meeting with me last Thursday to discuss the position of copywriter  at ABC, Incorporated. I was impressed with the enthusiasm you displayed for ABC’s future and the helpfulness of your office staff. Learning about your company’s upcoming advertising campaign was exciting and demonstrated your creative approach to advertising.

Your description of the special qualifications needed for this position was especially interesting. My ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines has already been proven in the advertising position I held with the Collegeville Independent. As I stated at our meeting, I enjoy the challenge of a competitive environment in which success is based on achievement.

I would also like to mention that since our meeting I have received the College Reporter’s Award for an article I submitted to the Collegeville Independent. This is my first national award, and I am quite encouraged by this approval of my work.

Again, thank you for considering me for the position of copywriter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Your Name
