ok so I sent the Thank you letter and still after 5 days have not heard back. Now What?
Well I had a interview this morning and don't plan on sending a thank you letter and that goes for tomorrow's interview also. You can see now how pointless it is and can just say everything you said in the letter at the end of the interview.
I think that sending a thank you letter is professional, and if you are applying and interviewing at places that require you to be professional, then you should always send one. A quick email after the interview is always a good idea in my opinion. My ivy-league (if it matters) engineering friends would never EVER not send in a thank you letter after an interview.

I'm going to take 4 sentences from my thank you letter and say those things at the end of the interview before I leave. My thank you letter sending days are OVER especially when I can THANK the Interviewer before I leave.

Look, you are not helping yourself at all. It takes 5 minutes to write a thank you email. Why can't you just do it? Stop looking for The Amazing Kreskin's Guide to Getting a Job and follow tried and true etiquette rules.

I'm the type of person who wants to try something different after a while and since I have sent out a thank you letter on the past three interviews, i want to do something that I never did before which is summarizing my letter before I leave the interview.
You heard the person say they sent a thank you letter 5 days ago and has not heard anything from the employer

Why don't you listen to those of us who have jobs? Unless you enjoy being unemployed, what does it hurt to consider the fact you might be wrong about this?

Just because one person did not get a response to a thank you letter, does not mean that you shouldn't write one. I receive responses to thank you letters, and sometimes I don't. Not every company is the same. Some know who they want to hire right away, and some need to wait until they can have every person in the office together for a hiring meeting, which could take a week or more. I truly believe that if a company interviews 4 people, and 3 out of the 4 send thank you letters, then the person who didn't might come off as unprofessional. You should always thank an interviewer at the end of the interview anyway, so how is this trying something new?

You want to try something different after THREE interviews in which you followed, "a plan" which didn't work immediately? You really DO seem to have the attention span of a two year old, as well as the mindset of that age group which is that the whole world revolves around them and them only.
It would be such an eye-opener to see you actually give someone other than yourself a little boost once in a while. But, as always, it all makes for amusing reading and at least it gives others in the same unemployed boat hope for themselves if YOU'RE getting interviewed.
