Dear Ms. Barnes:
Thank you for taking time to interview me on September 1, 2002 for the secretarial position. I am very interested in the job and hope you will seriously consider me for the job/position.
As we discussed in the interview, I have worked the past three years as a secretary in the Department of Oncology. I believe I have the qualifications to do a good job for your department.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jane Q. Public
