Sample cover letter for Internship position at Credit Suisse

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have recently developed an interest in finance, and I think your A level insight day will be extremely useful as I begin to explore this interest and possible careers.

I noticed that Credit Suisse is now renewing focus on the Asia-Pacific region. This is of particular interest to me as I have been following China’s economic slowdown and the resulting boom in foreign M&A activity by Chinese firms. If I am accepted, the A level insight day will be an invaluable introduction to the different areas within investment banking. It will be useful to get a feel of the atmosphere and culture within your bank, as well as hearing the realities of a career in investment banking from professionals already in the industry. The insight day will also allow me to start building relationships with like minded peers.

I would really appreciate the opportunity to attend this insight day and I hope to hear from you shortly. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to read through my letter and CV.
