Anita:
I agree with the phone conversation idea. I didn't get a job a few weeks
back and I asked the person who coordinated the group interview if she would
chat with me about how I came across. She was really receptive to the idea.
We chatted for a bit, I asked a number of detailed questions but it all came
back to the fact that someone else was more qualified for the position.

I'd add that you word it so it sounds like an invitation to talk by
phone rather than email--people tend to be very careful about what they
put in print, especially when it comes to HR decisions.
