Dear Ms. Smith:

Thank you for meeting with me on campus today to discuss the position of Assistant Branch Manager at Acme. Learning about your methods of marketing industrial widgets was exciting and demonstrated your creative approach. Acme Widgets is the kind of company with which I want to be associated.

In addition, I have taken a course in industrial marketing at Tulane and served as a consultant to a company similar to Acme as part of my course work.

Sincerely,
