I would send a simple business letter. You want to appear professional, especially a job has been offered to you. You cannot go wrong with a letter, where as you *can* go wrong with a card. I'd play it safe. |

Use a Thank You card .. tasteful and appropriate for the situation (nothing Hallmark gushy), sign the card a simple thank you.
And .. insert a typed, business letter thank you letter. |

You should use a thank you card, I think. It's cuter and more personal since it was just an interview and she offered you something so great. Handwritten shows more care :]. Once you start working, if you need to contact her you can start being more formal but I think your first thank you to her should be handwritten. good luck! |

Just what I would do, a thank you card with a brief but meaningful message. Too long and it won't get read. |

A short hand written note will show you're appreciation without appearing to be a suck-up. |

The letter shows a little more effort but is kinda...formal, cold. Find a nice card and send that with a nice (NEATLY) handwritten message. |

I think she'd appreciate any thank you letter - in this day and age so much is just done by email! But if you got on really well on a personal level, then send her a personal hand written note. Be sure to include your address though if you want to follow through with the internship - maybe you could ask her to get her secretary to send you a few more details so you have a written record. Good luck. |

I'd go for the buisiness letter...It's more professional and it proves to her your serious. |

If you send a thank you card, it should be extremely short. If you send a letter, then it should be detailed and should mention what you liked about the company, about their policies etc. Anything that will make her remember YOU. So, it is definitely up to you, but I prefer the business letter. |

Buy a thank you card. It makes it more personal. A business card or letter is usually use. |

Definitely a business letter. You could personalize a bit, but you'll want to come across professional and illustrate your capabilities in correspondence.
Good luck in your job quest. |

Personally I've found that typing is always better than handwriting, because many have a hard time reading script--just make sure you sign your name. Since she offered you an internship and it wasn't just a plain old interview, I think you should send the thanks business style, it looks more professional. Good Luck! |

I've always been trained to handwrite on a card - it's more personal and will look like you really took the time. Plus people receive tons of typed letters but few personal cards and when's the last time you saw some typed letter propped up on someone's desk? Note: The more professionally attractive the card, the more likely they'll proudly display it on their desk!
Here's a good compromise:
Enclose in a large, flat envelope one beautiful short handwritten thank you card inside a thank you card envelope with the person's handwritten name AND a longer typed letter not folded but placed flat in the large envelope saying, "I wanted to send a card to thank you blah blah blah" and a longer explanation of what they did that you are thanking them for. Conclude with acceptance or rejection (or a request to meet again regarding) the internship.
I'm glad you get it that people who hold information interviews are worth their weight in gold.
Edit: Hey, just what north o said! I've always gotten a second interview or job offer whenever I've sent a NEAT professional card. I'm not talking a cheesy Hallmark card, but something like this:

you should send a thank you card via email or print it off, on good paper this way it can be formal and personal also, winning you brownie points on both sides of the railroad,
ur computer might have software that makes cards or you can find a website that also does it that way. |

Business letter is typically more accepted and seems to be safer option. From your story, it appears that the firm caters to business class, it would not do you any harm if you also respond in business like manner. |

It's busines, so keep it professional. You could make the tone a little less formal if you got the feeling that she would be receptive to this. |

I would still use a buisness letter to show how professional you are, rather than rapport right now. If you get the job, then you can begin to build the rapport needed. |

Business format. My boss (an attorney) gets those and he laughs at them and throws them in the trash. I usually call to thank them... "hello Mr. Smith, this is Samantha *****, I just want to call and thank you for taking some time to interview me. Please keep in touch, as I look forward to hearing from you..." something like that... Pray for an answering machine :) |

I vote for a personal note, without a purchased card. The note could be typed, since it's not as if she invited you to tea. |

Business letter. But spice it up a bit, add something cute like graphics, etc. Typed works best if you personalize the letter to show it was made for them only, and sign it or add to it with pen. |

Traditionally a thank-you note is in the form of a business letter.
I think a hand-written letter or card would seem a little over the top and unprofessional. |
