Sample cover letter for Internship position at Ernst & Young

I am writing to apply for the sales representative position at Gallo in Modesto. Ann Smith, a Saint Mary’s graduate and Gallo employee, informed me of this opening. As you can see from my resume, the internship I had with XYZ Corporation provided an opportunity for me to gain practical experience with account maintenance and cold­calling new accounts. As a waiter in a high end restaurant for the past four years, I have learned firsthand how to effectively manage customers and their demands. I have been formally commended by management several times, and honored as “Employee of the Month.” The skills I have developed from my work experience and academic background support my strong interest in a sales career. Ever since I decided to pursue a sales career, Gallo has been at the top of my list of prospective employers. The strides your company has taken in the retail consumer marketplace – namely the integration of your product mix in expanding markets – make Gallo a leader in the industry. I would very much like an opportunity to speak with you regarding the sales representative position. I will call you late next week to discuss my qualifications for the position, or you can reach me in the meantime at (925) 631­1234. Thank you for considering me for this position.
