Dear_____

First Paragraph: Tell who you are, why you are writing (want ad, personal reference, etc.), what you are looking for, and how you can benefit the employer.

Thank you again for the opportunity to interview for the (position name) opening. I was disappointed to learn that another candidate was selected. If another opening becomes available I would love to be considered as a viable candidate.

Employment with your (name of company or organization) would give me a chance to share my education and experience. (Tailor this sentence to meet the employers needs).

Thank you for considering this request.
