Thank you for taking the time to interview for the position of assistant director

Note: This letter is a bit lengthy, but it does a good job of summing up the strengths of the interview and enticing the employer with the idea that hiring this candidate means that more ideas and innovations cannot be far behind. Your thank-you letter will typically be shorter.

Ms. Sentra Nessen 
Dayton Sumner Memorial Art Museum 
203 Harbor Street
Baltimore, MD 

Dear Ms. Nessen:

I want to thank you for taking the time to interview me yesterday for the position of assistant director of the Dayton Sumner Memorial Art Museum. You, Mr. Dawson, and Dr. Acquino exuded warmth, and I know we could all have an excellent working relationship.

As I further studied the job description for the position, I grew even more confident that I could take the museum to new heights of success. With the resources I've gathered, I am ready to hit the ground running with grant-writing. The 15 percent bonus for grants brought in is an excellent incentive, and I would devote a significant portion of my time to this important venture. I also have a number of great ideas for community and media relations and am excited by your interest in bringing more schoolchildren to the museum.

As I mentioned when we met, I would like to use my fine arts degree and journalism minor to enhance the museum's identity while at the same time meeting the needs and expectations of the community. I believe I can make a significant contribution to the fundraising effort, and I am particularly interested in exploring a corporate donor program.

I am convinced I could bring a new degree of organization to the museum, including sinking my teeth into making the workspace far less chaotic and far more functional. More importantly, I'd like to get communications on track so that newsletters and invitations are sent out on a timely basis. I have some ideas for making the newsletter more user-friendly. I feel it is extremely important to maintain close communication between the board and director, and I am committed to doing so.

Ms. Nessen, I thank you again for considering me for this position. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.

Sincerely,



John Oakley

Congratulations Letter

Good news can be about anything be it at home or place of work – marriage, childbirth, first job, promotion, etc. Sharing any of this is exhilarating and calls for celebration. A Congratulations Letter is one such letter that acknowledges the great news and sends with it loads of wishes and blessings for the recipient. This letter should be sent as soon as the writer learns about the great news that has been shared with her/him. The tone of the letter should be as exciting as the news is. Adjectives such as stimulated, excited, thrilled, elated should be used in the letter. It should be so worded that it ends up bringing a big smile on the face of the recipient. An official Congratulations Letter should be brief and to the point. A personal Congratulations Letter however can be slightly longer to give that personal touch. The letter should always talk about the news against which the wishes are being sent. It should sound as if the writer is congratulating the recipient personally. A p...
