Dear Jack (or use Mr. Smith):

Thank you for taking time to share information about (company name) and to listen to my background. I am interested in moving forward to the next step (It is OK to decline to move to the next step). (In this section mention 3 strengths or areas you believe impressed the interviewer. Examples might be: I believe I can make a significant and timely impact at (company name). I have received two promotions with my current company in the last four years. My work in SPC (Statistical Process Control) at (current company) seems similar to the SPC work you do at (new company). I am open to where you believe my experiences can best serve the company. (Mention any common interest or item that made both you and the interviewer laugh) such as: I too, enjoy jogging and tennis.

My educational background, ability to be decisive, friendly personality and sense of humor may provide the basis of skills that you desire. I look forward to your response.

Respectfully,

Joseph Schneider
