That is actually quite a good solution... I will keep it in mind.

Dear Sir ... or Madam ... I wasn't really sure even after 20 minutes of the interview
I would like to thank-you for taking a break from your proper work to look down your nose at me for a few precious minutes last week even though the job for which I was interviewing had already been given to the daughter of your chief executive on the basis that she fulfils your gender equality quota, makes an excellent cup of coffee, and once read the first chapter of a computer studies book in detention as the supervising teacher had forgotten to bring materials for any other task. I was particularly pleased to be given the opportunity to experience the thrills of a walk in the record breaking rainstorm as my taxi became enmired in the traffic control system for which the city is so rightly admired around the world. It will be something to tell the grandchildren which I will now never be able to afford having. I am also extremely grateful that you were so willing to assist with my current diet by refusing to offer either food or drink at any point during the three hours in which I was able to reach a full appreciation of the exquisite minimalism of your waiting room.
It only remains for me to wish you all long, happy, and prosperous lives so utterly unlike my own.
Bitter, moi?

If it's a job I want, I always send a personalized letter, highlighting something positive about the company and/or project. I've even done this a few times for jobs I didn't want (and didn't get) because I was impressed by the hiring manager and/or potential colleagues and figure having them remember me in the future could be a good thing.

I am not sure I am reading it correctly.
Did they send you an email to fill out, that makes it sound like you are groveling for the position, or they were groveling for you to fill it out.
But if you are still interested in the position, this could be a test. Can you follow directions? What is your response time, how interested are you in the position.
If you craft your own response be sure to answer all of their questions, so that they can compare your answers, and you don't miss anything. It is competitive out there right now. We have to separate people to determine who to make the offers to.

It was from the agent for me to send to client. It just made me sound like I would be a 'grovelling Igor'...Having done two interviews this week I am now wondering if that is expected of me. I mean if the company wasn't advertising and gave me an interview I would I am putting them out to see me, as I am replying to an advert they have posted they are expecting to have to take time out...

Then replying in your own words, sincerely, is best.
Make it personal (Our motto is that it is all about people).
Use the names you learned.
If you are interested in the position, tell them what jazzes you about the work, the team, and the environment. They are looking for a fit.
Don't grovel. Nobody wants someone who is desperate sounding. We want people who are confident, excited, passionate, and willing to work with losers like us... LOL
Enjoy!

How bad do you want the job? Seriously. How bad?
If it's a position that you want (not just need), then consider that you are competing with other candidates.
From a "marketing myself" perspective, "face space" is all important. Think of the thank you letter as an opportunity to get your face in the hiring company's space; otherwise you're just another unremarkable tree swaying in the forest.
If the position or the company isn't really doing it for you, then don't waste your time; move on to fertilizing the next, more appealing opportunity.

The fake is so lousy, it makes it funny, therefore the +5

Reminds me of the selfies with tigers I read about some time ago. Consider especially the second-to-last paragraph.

I don't know what is more stupid the futard taking a selfie or the page popping up the image when it is there, in full damned resolution, on the page already.

It should be legal to shoot anyone taking a selfie, or even saying that silly word.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I don't want to live in a world where selfie is a word. Heck, it's a song and a movie too. Maybe it would be easier to just shoot me.
