Sample cover letter for Internship position at Bank of America

POSITION:

Spring intern

evident by the fact that every organisation has a finance department. Moreover, since the finance industry is so diverse I am bound to find a career right for them. I personally have chosen the finance industry because I fancy a highly stimulating career. The highly competitive and fast paced working environment of an investment bank is what attracts me.

I want to particularly intern at the Bank of America because it is an international institution with clients in more than 150 countries, thus providing an opportunity to work across different countries and with diverse groups of people. The bank’s burgeoning success is evident by the fact that the bank reported its best third quarter for investment-banking fees since Bank of America's 2009 merger with Merrill Lynch. The company also prides itself on providing resources for career growth of employees. This provides me with satisfaction that working in such an institution would indeed open doors of success for me, giving me chances for higher achievement and enhancement of professional skills and capabilities. Speaking to Omar Davis from the investment banking division at a networking in Oxford helped me confirm that this is the career I want to pursue. His joyful and enjoyable personality made me realise that I would love to work with such colleagues.

The purpose of the global and corporate investment banking division is to help corporations and institutions to grow their businesses as well as to help clients invest and manage risk in trading markets. Investment bankers guide corporations on how to finance businesses and manage their assets. They also provide advice on mergers and acquisitions.
