Hello,

I had a second interview with an engineering firm. At the end of the interview, the manager discussed dates for when he would like me to start. He asked the office manager to write me an offer letter.

I am now currently writing a thank you for the interview letter for the two interviewers. Would it be strange to say that I look forward to working with them soon before I get the offer letter?

He wasn't clear whether it was going to be sent through snail mail or e-mail, but he said today or tomorrow. Today is tomorrow, so I am guessing it will be snail mail.
 
I doubt it would make much of a difference. If it bothers you, why not try something like...
  • I look forward to hearing from you.
  • I am excited about this opportunity.
  • I hope to speak with you again soon.

So it isn't a big deal. I guess I am just splitting hairs. Thanks.
