Dear Emily, I just returned home to Atlanta and wanted to send you a note to express my sincere thanks for such a kind welcome to your [University] this week. I had a wonderful trip to [city, state] and was very impressed with the university. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to work with your students on Tuesday. I look forward to hearing from you as the search progresses. All the best, Ellen _____________________________________Ellen UsherDivision of Educational StudiesEmory University1784 North Decatur Road, Suite 240Atlanta, GA 30322
