Using the samples available within Optimal Resume (under the ‘Letters’ section), and the content from this module, draft a thank you letter template that you can use as a starting point for future professional follow up. This template will be a document that you can customize for each situation in which it is needed. For the template feel free to use text like “DATE”, “NAME”, “EVENT” and “COMPANY” as place-holders for information that will later be customized. Alternatively, feel free to write your letter to a specific individual for practice.

1. Specific mention of what you are thanking the individual for.
