Thank you Notes

INFORMATION GUIDE

[Sample Thank you Note, Electronic]

Dear Ms. Benjamin:

Your opening paragraph should contain some form of “thank you” in the first twelve words.

Remind them about your interaction with them (as an interview follow up, for attending an event,

for speaking with you, etc.). Use this note as a means to further the conversation you had with the

individual.

The second paragraph can be used for a variety of purposes. You could elaborate on the

interaction with the individual, clarify anything you feel was unclear, re-answer a question, answer

an unasked (but necessary) question, etc. Use as many sentences as you feel are necessary. This

is your opportunity to emphasize your strongest qualities and show how you are a good fit.

Your final paragraph should end with a different form of “thank you” in the last twelve words.

State that you will follow up by phone or email and provide phone number and email.

Sincerely,

Thomas F. Green
