Sample cover letter for Internship position at Daimler

Ms. Ellie Wells

Senior Manager

Wallaby Yogurt Company

110 Mezzetta Court

American Canyon, CA 94503

Dear Ms. Wells:

I am a senior at Harvard University and am writing to apply for the Manager in Training

opportunity at the Wallaby Yogurt Company posted in Harvard’s Crimson Careers

database. I’m very interested in the field of digital marketing and would welcome the

opportunity to contribute my research, writing skills, and experience to your growing

business.

I am excited about Wallaby's commitment to organic, all-natural ingredients in its

products. As a varsity field hockey player, I’m very aware of the importance of healthy

food as the foundation for a healthy life. Your emphasis on “learning by doing and

leading by serving” is also consistent with the training I received as an athlete. Whether

on the field learning new drills in the worst weather conditions or patiently working with

a new team member, I am most fulfilled when contributing to the team effort.

In addition to my concentration in History, I have completed advanced coursework in

Economics. My academic work has strengthened my research and writing skills as well

as my understanding of the economics of business growth and development. Working

with Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business (WIB) over the last two years gave me

the experience and confidence to work in a dynamic, fast-paced organization where

learning quickly and pitching in are instrumental to success. As a member of the

Executive Committee, for example, I managed campus advertising and social media

campaigns that increased overall membership and attracted more than 500 students from

12 different schools to our annual Intercollegiate Fall Conference.

Thank you for your consideration. I very much look forward to the opportunity to speak

with you in person about my interest in this position.

Sincerely,

Jane Smith
