Employer/Mentor Thank you note:

As the end of the year approaches, I want you to practice writing a thank you note

to your worksite mentor(s). Handwritten notes are usually appropriate. Yet, if you

feel the situation warrants a formal touch, then compose your letter on a computer.

I will ask you to give your mentors a note at the end of the semester, so do a

good job and you will be able to use this one!!!

THE ART OF THE THANK YOU LETTER

(See samples)

Thank you letters can go a long way toward making a great impression on new

contacts or with current employers. It helps to show you value the time you spent

at their worksite. A thank you letter should always be mailed the day after a job

interview, job promotion, or at a time to indicate appreciation/gratitude.

These are a few critical points to remember when writing your thank you

notes:

1. Make sure your handwriting is clear and legible. Otherwise, compose your

letter on a computer.

2. Make sure the recipient of your thank you letter can read your name at the

end.

3. Always include your return address on the outside of the envelope.

4. Remember that the recipient of your thank you letter can play a vital role in

your future success.

5. Always date your letter.

6. Be sure that you mention that you are grateful for the opportunity at that

worksite.

7. Always proof read your letter before you send it to be sure that you have

said what you wanted to say. Check for grammatical or spelling errors.

8. Make sure your letter doesn’t sound like a generic letter. Use specific

references to your conversations or experiences.

SAMPLE THANK YOU TO MENTOR

April 22, 2009

Ms. Carolyn Burrell

Barrow Community Hospital

316 North Broad Street

Winder, Georgia 30680

Dear Ms. Burrell,

Participating in the hospital rotation program has been the highlight of my year. Thank you for the time and effort

that you take to make this opportunity possible.

Even though I have had an interest in healthcare since middle school, this program allowed me to narrow my career

interest to radiology. The mentors in every department were friendly and inspiring. Everyone encouraged me to do

my best and provided me with useful career information.

I am now ready to begin my post-secondary education with a clear vision of my career goals. Thank you again for

all that you do.

Sincerely,

Sam Smith

Dear Ms. Smith,

I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for the opportunity to interview for the position of financial officer at First Bank of

Winder. It was a pleasure talking with you and learning more about the position and First Bank.

The atmosphere at First Bank is warm, friendly, and courteous. I am especially impressed with the sense of family among the

employees. Your statement about “growing” your own managers and executives reinforces the “family bank” philosophy. As a

result of our conversation, I am convinced that First Bank of Winder has the kind of climate and opportunity for advancement

that I desire.

I look forward to hearing from you. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
