Sample cover letter for Internship position at BAML

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in attending the Multicultural Leadership Network event taking place in Bank of America Merrill Lynch in London.

I am about to start my second year of my BSc Hons Economics degree at SOAS, University of London. In addition, I am working as an accounting assistant at MK MK LTD where I assist in the preparation of VAT returns and payroll.

As a female from a developing country interested in working in the financial industry, and also applying for the summer internship in Global Transaction Services, I strongly believe I will be able to both benefit and add value to the event.

Having met XXXXX, Vice President EEMEA economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and researching the firm, I was highly impressed. I admire Bank of America Merrill Lynch culture and its extensive global scale and reach.

I would value the opportunity to network with current professionals in the industry, explore new opportunities and learn more about Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Global Transaction Services area.
