Sample Email Thank You Letter

• Email thank you letters should be sent immediately after an interview.
• Always send a personalized email thank you letter to everyone who interviewed you. 
• Keep each email thank you letter professional and simple (no more than one page).
• An email thank you letter can be sent instantly via email, instead of having to mail a thank you letter which could take 2 or 3 days to be delivered to the employer.
• An email thank you letter also gives you the opportunity to highlight strengths and to elaborate on anything that you did not answer well during the interview.
• Express your continued interest and enthusiasm for the position and the company.
• You can prepare a general email thank you letter, which must be edited for each specific job.
