Dear Ms. Center,
I enjoyed talking with you on Friday, October 3,
regarding my interest in working in a nonprofit organization. I greatly
appreciate your taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with me.
Your reflections on your experiences in working in the
field of sustainable development brought to life everything I have been
reading about careers in the public interest. It was also gratifying to
learn that working in a nonprofit is one of the best ways to develop a broad
range of skills that prepare one for any number of subsequent career paths.
I will certainly follow up with the two contacts you
gave me, and I will keep you informed of my progress as my search proceeds.
Thank you again for so generously sharing your time with me. Our
conversation was both informative and encouraging.
Sincerely,
Your Name
