Dear ........

You interviewed me on (date) for the (role) position.

I really want this job, so I'm taking the liberty of re-stating why I think you should choose me:

(then list 3-5 short points which relate your skills, knowledge, experience, achievements, character, attitude, to the results and effects they'll be seeking from the person appointed. It is very important that these points demonstrate that you have clearly understood and can deliver - specific measurable things if possible - what they need for the role, for example:)

• You need someone who can produce new profitable business - a minimum (stated target level) a year. My track record proves I can do this. I know already how I will do this for you. Moreover I'll help others around me to do it too.
• You need someone who is very adaptable. Again my recent career history shows how I'm able to adapt to fast-changing situations - to identify and achieve new aims quickly. Put me anywhere - I'll adapt and create a new plan, and achieve it.
• You need someone who can hit the ground running - I can do this - I have commitments from personal customers who have promised me business equating to (amount) by (when) should I take on this new role.

You might have seen better qualified applicants, or people with more relevant experience, but when it comes down to it, it's the person with the most passion and determination who is able to make a real difference. I'd urge you to give me the chance to prove I am that person.

Yours etc.
