Examples Dear Ms. Lewis:   Thank you for the time you took to set up my visit with Golub & Company as a part of the Business Externship Program with Western Michigan University. I am truly appreciative of all of the activities and events you planned for my visit. This experience was much more than I expected. Being able to talk with many members of the Golub team and visiting multiple locations were highlights for me.    Before this externship, I was unaware of how an accounting major could fit into real estate investment. Exposure to all of the information, stories and expertise helped me to learn more about real estate investment and the different opportunities I could have as an accounting professional after graduation. In addition to learning about your company and how accounting plays a part in it, I learned and saw professional business etiquette in practice. That information alone will help me in any career.    Thank you again for being a part of the Business Externship Program. I appreciate your commitment to being a mentor. Taking a whole day out of your schedule to show me around Chicago to meet with different Golub employees was appreciated. I look forward to keeping in contact while I continue to work my way through school. Thanks for investing in my future!    Sincerely,  Maggie Harris    Email Business Format Subject: Thank You – Sales Management Trainee Interview – May 13  Dear Ms. Lis:  Thank you for the opportunity to interview for the Sales Management Trainee position with Enterprise Rent-A-Car on Monday, May 13, at Western Michigan University.  Learning more about the position and company solidified my interest in becoming a part of the Enterprise team.    Knowing that Enterprise is ranked by Fortune magazine as “Top Five Best Real World Experiences in the US” is what initially drew me to your company.  My interest in the company increased when I learned of your personal experience at Enterprise – it is great to hear about a company that invests in quality employees, such as you, and promotes talent from within.  I am confident my experience as the executive director of a student-run non-profit organization would assist me as I learn to run my own Enterprise branch.  My ability to build rapport with customers using active listening and assertive communication will be a great benefit to the company when building a client base that guarantees return business.  I truly look forward to hearing from you about the opportunity to become a part of Enterprise Rent-A-Car.  Should you have additional questions in the meantime, please feel free to contact me at (269) 123-1234or &＃69;&＃109;&＃97;&＃105;&＃64;&＃119;&＃109;&＃105;&＃99;&＃104;&＃46;&＃101;&＃100;&＃117;.  Thank you again for meeting with me and sharing your Enterprise story.  Sincerely,  Taliah R.
