Dear Ms. Patrillo,

Thank you for meeting with me to discuss the Training Specialist position. I enjoyed speaking with the members of the Training Department team and believe the position is a good match with my background in designing and presenting dynamic training programs.

I was especially interested in hearing about CMD Corporation’s plans to initiate a distance learning program. In my last position, I researched vendors and managed the company’s first distance learning courses for our employees in satellite offices. Through this experience, I learned how to plan and implement successful courses via videoconferencing. I also taught a management development distance education course, which furthered my ability to facilitate discussions between local and satellite classrooms.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to interview with you. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Amelia Simpson
