Dear Mr. Miller:

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to interview for the Programmer Analyst II position. I enjoyed meeting you and learning more about Hannibal LaGrange's Technical Education Program. I appreciate your consideration and interest in me.

The interview was very informational and the project you are working on seems to parallel my interests and career goals. My prior experience in programming with C++ along with my education and technical experience would enable me to immediately become a productive member of your team.

Please tell Dr. Jones and the other staff members that I sincerely appreciated their openness and hospitality during my visit. Again, thank you for your consideration. I hope to be in touch within the next two weeks to further discuss the position.

Sincerely,

                               (Sign it legibly in blue ink! Then, write a sentence
