Sample cover letter for Internship position at CW downer

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in the position of an Intern (M&A Analyst) and to convince you of my abilities to succeed in this role. The excellent reputation of your advisory services as well as a unique corporate culture and cohesion of your team are the main reasons for my application to C.W.Downer.

Currently I am employed as an intern at PGC Group, a strategic consultancy. In this position I am responsible for collecting and analysing relevant business information, undertaking company evaluation, and assisting management with reporting of findings to clients. From the start of my occupation I have not only conducted entire projects independently, but also developed valid hypotheses and presented my conclusions to the entire team. In particular my problem-solving talents and effective communication skills have contributed to the successful completion of several projects in such varying industries as automotive, engineering consultancy, and industrial equipment.

The foundations of my abilities were laid by completing graduate studies at such renowned universities as xxx s and xxx in the UK. Degrees in two academic disciplines of economics and law bestowed me with rigorous quantitative skills alongside advanced analytical competences. Excellent grades and several awards and scholarships confirm the dedication and result-driven approach of my engagement. During my full-time studies I was continuously working as a waiting employee and have advanced my knowledge in corporate finance by means of self-education and completion of supplementary courses. Further I have had a chance to collect valuable experience while volunteering for GuteTat Foundation in Hamburg by contributing to a five-month project for children with emigrational background.

My enthusiasm and will to deliver professional advice in the area of investment banking are unmatched by other candidates and would provide considerable benefits to the quality of the entrusted to me tasks. During my current apprenticeship as well as throughout the studies I have worked extensively with MS Office applications and have advanced my abilities in this respect to a professional level. High standards of integrity coupled with a great sense for teamwork allowed me to complete several internships to the fullest satisfaction of employers. I am humbly proud of having been offered a full-time position at each of my previous placements.

Due to the current employment, I would be able to start a 3 to 6-month internship on the 1^st of November 2015 or at a later suitable for you date. I would like to thank you for the time you took to consider my application and would be delighted to introduce myself in person or per phone at a convenient for you time.

Respectfully
