THANK YOU DESPITE REJECTION LETTER SAMPLE
(For letters sent via email)
Dear Ms. Rankin,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to interview for the Customer Services
Representative position at the Fisher Office of Career Management on November 20,
2009. I learned a great deal from our meeting, and I appreciate your consideration and
interest in me.
Although I am disappointed in not being selected for your current vacancy, I want you
to know that I appreciated the courtesy and professionalism extended to me during the
entire selection process. I enjoyed meeting you and the other members of the sales
staff. My meetings confirmed to me that Bentley Enterprises would be an exciting place
to build a career.
Finally, I want to reiterate my strong interest in working at Bentley Enterprises. Please
keep me in mind should another position become available in the near future. Again,
thank you for the opportunity to interview. Best wishes to you and your staff.
Sincerely,
Christina Rodriguez
General Format Notes
Make sure you include a subject line in your email. In this
case an appropriate subject line might be “Thank You for
the 11-20-09 Interview.”
This student indicates that she met multiple people during
the interview process. If possible, she should send a thank
you email to each of the people with whom she interviewed.
There is no need to leave multiple spaces between “Sincerely”
and your name if you do not have a digital version of your
signature. One way to “sign” an email is to use a font that
looks somewhat like handwriting as shown in the example
below:
Sincerely,
Christina Rodriguez
