Dear Ms. Gregory,
I'd like to thank you for taking the time to talk with me Monday about the corporate adjuster
position you have open at AT&T.
Your energetic presentation was enough to brighten anyone's Monday morning. I really
appreciate that you took so much time to acquaint me with the company and its benefits.
I also enjoyed the challenging, thoughtful talk I had with Mr. Wilson. I felt a rapport and respect for
him that I know would facilitate a good working relationship.
I feel I have a good understanding of the requirements of the position, and I am very interested. I
am even more confident than before of my ability to make a real contribution to AT&T.
Ms. Gregory, thanks again for talking with me Monday. Should you or Mr. Wilson want to talk with
me further, I would be more than happy to oblige. I look forward to the possibility of working with
you.
Cordially,
Patricia Stevens Longo

Dear Dr. Schmidt,
It was wonderful to have the opportunity to speak with you concerning the family-medicine
position with your practice, and I thank you. I know how limited a physician's time can be, and
your timely involvement in the interview process impressed me. After speaking with you, I felt
certain that we can develop an effective working relationship.
After reflecting on our discussion, I deduced that you are looking for more than a competent
family practitioner; you seek someone with an exceptional ability to communicate with patients.
Holistic health-care skills are critical, and I can execute mine readily. I intend to use not only my
integrity and dedication in this position, but my open communication and interpersonal skills to
their fullest extent.
The scope of responsibility for this position parallels my residency. I dedicated many hours to
becoming proficient in numerous areas, and my tenacity was quickly recognized. I would like to
share the same experience while contributing to the success of your practice.
If you decide that I should interview with any of your partners, I will be available at your
convenience. Until then, I look forward to the possibility of working with you. I thank you again for
taking the time to meet with me.
Sincerely yours,
Kelly O'Hara, M.D.

Dear Ms. Wright:
Thank you so much for your time and the privilege of having an interview

Tech. The management trainee program you outlined sounds both
challenging and rewarding and I look forward to your decision concerning

Thank you again for the opportunity to be considered by Fashion
Department Store. The interview served to reinforce my strong interest in
becoming a part of your management team. I can be reached at (540)
