Hmmm . . . since they contacted him, I think you can keep it short and simple-
Dear ________:

Once again, thank you so much for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about this opportunity. Should you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at ....

Maybe something like this??
I worked for years as a recruiter . . . I think in this situation, since the person already knows who he is and what he does, you can keep it short and to the point, you may not even need to highlight specifics (depending on how well your DH knows this person).
Hope that might be helpful!
