Dear «Name»:

Thank you for giving our Search Committee the opportunity to meet you and discuss your interest in the <<title>> position. As with all selection processes, the decision on which candidate to ultimately choose or recommend is difficult. Although you were not selected for the position, the search committee, <<Department>> staff and campus staff very much appreciated the opportunities for discussion and exchange brought forth throughout the day of your interview. Your presence on our campus helped expose our group members to different philosophies with respect to the leadership and direction of our <<Department>> section. As a result, we each have a broader perspective from which to operate as future changes within <<Department>> are discussed. On behalf of all involved, we thank you for your interest in UNLV and wish you continued success in reaching your professional goals.

Sincerely,
  
<<Name>>
Search Committee Chair
