I'm from the North, ok, now the Middle East, and I think thank you notes are a sadly forgotten art. But the part that jumped out at me is the PNM sent in the packet without a cover letter, which to a certain extent would have served as a thank you. "Here's my stuff. Please send it to the AB sorority at Big State U. Thank you so much for doing this for me." This is also a good life lesson that is missed on so many job applicants. You HAVE to have a cover letter, and it HAS to be specific to the job at hand, or rec request in this case.
