How Do I Write Nice To Have Meet You Letter?

So: You've been networking at an event or you've had the opportunity to meet a high-powered individual who might further your career. You want the session to be memorable to them, allowing you to contact them in future and make the most of potential opportunities. One of the best ways to show your enthusiasm and professionalism is to write a letter to their office or personal assistant, explaining how nice it was to meet them. If you wish, the correspondence could also be used as a sounding board for other ideas relating to the things that were originally discussed.

There's no need to be overly complimentary, as this can be somewhat off putting. Don't be afraid to tell your contact how engaging and entertaining they were, but there must be some balance to ensure that you don't appear slightly creepy. Including your contact details should be one of the main aims of this letter, and make sure you encourage them to get in touch whenever possible. By supplying your phone number and address, it's probable that they'll be back in touch and making the most of the opportunity to work with you.

If it was part of an organised session, you may wish to provide feedback on speeches that they may have given, explaining the good and bad points of the seminars delivered. Not only will they be greatly appreciative of your response, but it also guarantees your letter will be read instead of discarded onto the dozens of letters they may receive from people like you.

1 - Spark a memory from when you met. Their brain will try to piece together the moment that you shared already.
2 - Include a topic that has recency. This will generate new memories with you as opposed to the single memory they have already.
3 - Memorable ending. Make them smile or laugh and it will make them more likely to want to catch up with you again soon. Everybody needs stress relief.
4 – Send a real card, not an Email (it will be deleted soon after read). A real greeting card is good because it makes you stand out. I have seen cards I sent sitting on peoples desk for weeks if not months because it was so refreshing to them.

I started using a an online system called SendOutCards.com. It's amazing!! Its the only online card company that actually sends a tangible card in an envelope with a stamp on it...and you don't even have to leave your desk to do it. It takes about 2 minutes to create and send a card...there's over 15,000 to choose from in all different categories or you can create your own with photos that you upload.

If you're interested in checking it out go to www.sendoutcards.com and you'll be able to set up your own gift account to try it out for FREE.

Good luck!

It would make a difference on how the note is worded depending on the circumstances:  If it was the meting of a possible employer or if was the meeting of a new friend.  I will attempt both.  Either way, the note should be short and to the point.

Dear  Sue,
I am glad that we had the opportunity to spend some time together last night.  I enjoyed our discussion (date) and sincerely hope that we can get together again in the near future.  I look forward to spending much more time with you and hope you feel the same.  
Sincerely,
Dave

Probably say something like, I just want you to know that I'm glad I got to meet you. Anything you feel you want to say. The person will appreciate it.
