Dear Mr. Carter,

It was a pleasure meeting with you yesterday to discuss the possible opportunities in Industrial Engineering at Occidental Chemical. Your vision for expansion was very interesting and you shared a lot of good ideas concerning how beneficial new growth can be especially to the surrounding community.

My prior work experience for a plastic manufacturing company has given me insight of what issues can arise when a company starts to quickly grow. As you learned from our conversation, I also worked in quality control and I am very understanding of your commitment to quality during a fast paced growth phase.

I am very interested in the Industrial Engineering position that we discussed. I am very confident that my skill set and prior experience will add a lot of value to your team. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,

Sean Williams
