I believe your experience with their company is your advantage. Talk to your
contacts now, prior to Thursday, to get any inside scoop on the position -
who had it previously, what happened to them - anything. One (or more) may
volunteer to put in a good word for you - and if they do, accept their offer
to do so! Do not underestimate the power of the people you know. You do have
experience and one of the chunks of experience is working in their company!
I think you will do fantastic on Thursday! Your email shows that you can
write clearly. I will add you to my daily prayers. Please let us (the list)
know how the interview goes!

Subject: Advice needed for an upcoming interview
I have a job interview on Thursday. I documented an embedded version of the
company's product at a previous position, so I have some familiarity with
it.
