The language used could be referred to as Formal language

Formal

When writing, there are two types of language—informal and formal.  Informal writing will contain elements such as slang, texting lingo/abbreviations, contractions, and figures of speech.  Formal language, on the other hand, will not.  Formal language will take on what can be considered a professional tone, and formal language should be used when communicating in situations serious/professional in nature.  As such, when we look at the example communication you have listed here, we see that the communication is a thank you letter for a job interview.  Because a job interview is professional/serious, and because there are no contractions, slang words/phrases, idioms, it can be safely said that the type of language used in this letter is formal.
