The thank-you letter should be brief and to-the-point.  First you should emphasize your sincere appreciation for someone taking the time to meet or interview you.  Remind the recipient of your strongest qualifications for the position and connect the requirements of the position directly with your specific talents.

Next, focus on your interest in the position.  Describe, briefly, how you would be an asset to the position and the company.  Offer your phone number in case the recipient should need any further information from you.

Finally, request action.  Each thank-you letter should be concluded with an appropriate statement of your appreciation for their help and a request for action.  For example:  "Thank you for the interview, tour of the facilities, and your consideration."  After a networking meeting, be sure to write a thank-you letter to the individual(s) who assisted you in gaining information or interviews.
