When you log on to retrieve umpteen E-Mails, you may delete many unread, 
and barely skim many others.  Conversely, snail mail can be read at one's 
leisure -- and denotes a bit more effort than E-Mail.

I've heard and read that handwritten notes are best of all.  They're 
certainly more personal, and more indicative of one's writing ability since 
no grammar or spell-checkers were available, etc.

Whatever you do, make sure to personalize the letter to that particular 
company and interview.  Sending a bland form letter is a major turn-off.

Another *MAJOR* turn-off is poor handwriting (type if you can't write 
neatly), spelling, and grammar.  (Before anyone says that that's 
self-explanatory, I've seen more than one top candidate summarily rejected 
after seeing his sloppy,  misspelled, ungrammatical poor excuse for a thank 
you note.)
