You recently had a successful interview with an expert for a project you are doing at work. Write an email to thank them for their time.

Make your email more effective by using specific details (e.g., the topic of the interview) and addressing the expert by name. Use your imagination!

Examples and hints

The tone of a thank you email is semi-formal to formal, depending on the context. For an expert interview, the tone should be fairly formal. A good structure to follow is:

Begin with a greeting
Thank the recipient—Be specific:
• What did the recipient do for you?
• How/Why was it important to you?
• What was the positive effect of their help (e.g., the client was happy with your proposal)?
Add a final remark—It's polite to thank the recipient again briefly before closing.
End with a formal closing phrase (e.g., "With regards,"; "Sincerely," etc.), followed by your full name.
