Email body

Hi Amanda,

Thanks so much for your time earlier today. It was great meeting you and learning more about [company name], and getting a behind-the-scenes look at a company I’ve admired for so long. It was particularly exciting for me to hear about the [X,Y,Z] projects your team has been working on. As you know, I specialise in [X,Y,Z], and thanks to my experience with [A,B,C] I’m certain I’d be able to hit the ground running with these projects!

Here’s the [insert specific information] you asked for. Feel free to contact me if you need anything else from me.

I really appreciate the opportunity for an interview, which has reinforced my interest in becoming a part of your team.[Insert something personal here if possible, e.g. I hope you enjoy your trip to Melbourne – if you’re a coffee fiend like me, be sure to check out The Hardware Societe!]

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

[Your name]
