Dear Ms. Janice:
Thank you for taking the time to introduce me to Concourse International, Inc. and your professional work during my job shadow with you. I was impressed by your knowledge of the industry and appreciated receiving a tour of your office.
Your referral to Elizabeth Poole was very useful. I have arranged to meet her in two weeks and look forward to gaining additional knowledge of the field from her.
As you requested, I will contact you in a few months to give you an update on my search for an internship next fall. Thank you again for your help and valuable insight.
Sincerely,
Samantha Smith
