Dear Ms. Carson:  Spell the interviewer's name correctly

Thank the interviewer  Thank you for the opportunity to interview with you yesterday afternoon. I am very interested in the childcare position you described.

Highlight your qualifications  My child development classes, summer jobs, and recent volunteer work as a storybook reader at the community center have prepared me well for a preschool teaching position. I am especially interested in the field trip program you mentioned. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to that effort.

Express interest in the job  I enjoyed meeting you and your staff and look forward to hearing from you soon. If I can provide any additional information, please call me at (555) 555-5555. Place your phone number near the end  Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

John Ryan
