It was very enjoyable to speak with you about the assistant account executive position at the Smith Agency. The job, as you presented it, is an excellent match for my skills and interests. The creative approach to account management that you described confirms my desire to work with you.
In addition to my enthusiasm, I will bring to the position strong writing skills, assertiveness and the ability to encourage others to work cooperatively with the department. My artistic background will help me to work with artists on staff and provide me with an understanding of the visual aspects of our work.
I understand your need for administrative support. My attention for detail and organizational skills will help to free you to deal with larger issues. I neglected to mention during my interview that I had worked for two summers as a temporary office worker. This experience helped me to develop my secretarial and clerical skills.
I appreciate the time you took to meet with me. I am very interested in working for you and look forward to hearing from you about this position.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr./Ms. Interviewer’s Last Name:
It was a pleasure to finally meet you, after our numerous emails and phone conversations, regarding the Production Editor-Proofreader position. I truly enjoyed our conversation; hearing about Management Group, in general; learning more about the needs of the Sales Intelligence department; and being able to share some of the reasons why I am the most ideal candidate for the job.
{personalize this paragraph to your own interview experience}
Thank you also for introducing me to several Sales Intelligence team members. They were all so kind and accommodating. Please let them know I appreciate how comfortable they made me feel. I agree it was a shame that Bob Brown, the actual person I'd be working for, was not in. I hope he is feeling better and have no problem coming back to meet with him, when it's convenient.
After talking with you, meeting the team and getting a better understanding of what is involved in the position, I am even more confident there can be no better a match. Don Doe showed me several recent projects and Betty Boop explained the process and gave me a look at the computer applications typically used. I am very familiar with the entire set-up, and have done work almost identical to the ones shown.
Currently, my schedule is flexible and knowing your urgency to fill the position, I would like to meet Mr. Brown at his earliest convenience. Please drop me an email or a quick call with date and time, and I'll be sure to arrange my schedule around it. Thank you again for your time; I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
