This sample letter of interest let’s the candidate know what the job opening is, what they need to do next, and how long they can expect before they hear back from you. To make it even more enticing, include a brief description (one or two sentences) of what the job entails and your most exciting and unique benefits before you ask them to review the full ad.

If they don’t respond to this initial request, don’t worry! We have a template for a follow-up letter of interest too.
