Sample cover letter for Internship position at Credit Suisse

Dear Hiring Manager,

My name is [Xyz], I graduated from [Xyz] University in June 2013 with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance. I came across this opening for a Analyst position at [Xyz]'s debt capital market through [Xyz}. Through my previous experiences, I've gained a strong understanding of the capital markets, researching industry statistics, and creating presentations for clients and team members to source the best possible deals to clients.

As a summer associate at [Xyz] Capital last summer, I prepared multiple materials and presentations for our managing partner to pitch a variety of solutions for our clients to raise capital effectively. I've participated in a significant amount of deal calls to gain an understanding of how clients needs are best met under pressured environments. Although I was a summer associate, I spearheaded marketing initiatives to result in 20% higher deal volume and opened the company to a new array of clients. During my senior year at [Xyz] University, I lead a group of five students in the CFA Research Challenge where we evaluated a publicly traded company, and created a detailed pitch book for the CFA Institute community. We advanced to be a finalist for the state of [Xyz], where we had to give a ten minute presentation before a panel of three judges.

I am quite impressed by [XXX] Debt Capital Markets' team because it exposes you to both client facing and relationship building side along with analyzing the capital markets. This opportunity plays to my strengths of developing relationships and analytical skills.

I am confident that my analytical skills, experiences and leadership abilities are strong qualifications for a position in the Debt Capital Markets. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you about my qualifications, experiences, and interest in the analyst position at [XXX]'s debt capital market. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

XXX
