Please don't do such a simple response as the other Q&As on this page! You need to show that you care and are professional! The recruiter rmay never answer if you just send a one-liner back.

Something as simple as below where I would tailor the formality of your language based on your style and local culture.

As Ian mentioned, your answer should show that you are interested. Make it clear, but extensive. Ask, if it is possible to have a call to discuss further details and your resume.
