Dear Mr. x;
I genuinely appreciate the time you gave me yesterday. You were most helpful. And you did good job of selling me on Sony Corporation of America.
As you requested, I have enclosed samples of the financial analysis I developed as a class project. If you need anything more, please let me know.
I look forward to the possibility of discussing employment with you soon.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. x;
Because the time is approaching when I must make a job decision, will you please tell me the status of my application with you?
You may recall that you interviewed me in your office November 7. You wrote me November 12 indicating that I was among those you had selected for further consideration.
SAIC remains one of the organizations I would like to consider in making my career decision. I will very much appreciate hearing from you by December 3.
Sincerely,
Planning The Job Acceptance

Dear Mr. x;
Yes, I accept your offer of employment. After my first interview with you, I was convinced that Allison-Caldwell was the organization for me. It is good to know that you think I am right for Allison-Caldwell.
Following your instructions, I will be in your Toronto headquarters on May 28 at 8:30 am ready to work for You.

Dear Mr. x;
Meeting you and the other people at Northern was a genuine pleasure . All that I heard impressed me most favorably.
I was especially impressed to receive the generous job offer that followed.
In considering the offer, I naturally gave some weight to these favorable impressions. Even though I have accepted a job with another firm, they remain strong in my mind.
Thank you for the time and the courteous treatment you gave me.

Dear Mr. x;
Working as your assistant for the past 5 years has been a genuinely rewarding experience. Under your direction I have grown as an administrator. And I know you have given me a practical education in retailing.
As you may recall from our past discussions, I have been pursuing the same career goals that you held early in your career. So you will understand why I am now resigning to accept a store management position with Lawson's in Belle River. I would like my employment to end on the 31st, but I could stay a week or two longer if needed to help train my replacement.
I leave with only good memories of you and the other people with whom I worked.Thank to all of you for a valuable contribution to my career.
