Which element should a candidate include in the first paragraph of a post-interview thank-you letter?

The first paragraph should thank the interviewer for taking the time to meet and reaffirm genuine interest in the position. This opens the letter courteously and reminds the employer that the candidate is enthusiastic. A detailed résumé recap, salary discussion, or request for performance feedback is not appropriate for the opening paragraph.
