Sample cover letter for Internship position at Ace Accounting Firm

Dear Mr. Thomas: 

I am writing to express my interest in an entry-level accounting position at the Ace Accounting Firm. I recently met Anne Carlson, a manager in your San Diego office, at a university alumni function. She advised me to contact you about opportunities in your Los Angeles office. I am completing my degree in Accountancy this coming May at San Diego State University. I have supplemented required accounting courses with courses in _________ . My recent experience as an intern with the DEF firm has allowed me to enhance my cost accounting and personal relations skills in a professional environment. In addition to my university course work and internships, I have been active in the Accounting Society at SDSU. I am currently serving as Director of Community Service, in charge of coordinating our chapter’s participation in local activities. This leadership role has strengthened my public speaking and event planning skills. During the past year, I feel that I have demonstrated my ability to succeed by balancing the demands of my classes, internship, community service and leadership roles. I will contact you next week to discuss your employment needs for the coming year. Thank you for your time and attention to my resume. 

Sincerely, Jane Doe
