Sample cover letter for Internship position at Goldman Sachs

Having attended a presentation by Goldman Sachs hold by Philipp de la Chevallerie at WHU, I became interested in your company and my initial curiosity and fascination for investment banking were confirmed and deepened. That is why I would hereby like to apply for a Spring Internship. I would love to experience the flair of Europe´s financial center, which I was already able to sense during several stays in London. Therefore, I was particularly interested to hear that you are hiring students for a spring week, which in my eyes, is the best opportunity for a first-year student to get an impression of the world´s leading investment bank.

I am highly motivated, disciplined and thorough, able to work in a team and always want to improve. I think that these characteristics fit perfectly with Goldman Sachs and IB. I am convinced that Goldman would be the perfect company to make the most of Spring Week, not only due to its global reputation as a leading investment bank, but also because of the unique working environment. The daily work and the implementation of Goldman’s 14 business principles, which are, in my eyes, crucial for your world-class service and customer relationship and success were decisive for me to apply to your firm.

I would be very pleased to have the opportunity to discuss my application during an initial telephone interview at your convenience. In case you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
