Dear Alix,

Although I was not selected to start working for your company, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to consider me as a valid applicant to your company and to work for you. I appreciated the talks we had and our time during the interview as I learned a lot about the profession as a whole and I will use your advice to progress myself further in the career. If you have any further feedback so that I may better myself down this career path, please let me know as I’m always looking to improve.

Sincerely,
