Sample cover letter for Internship position at Goldman Sachs

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in Goldman Sachs' Spring Internship program in Investment Banking and would appreciate your kind consideration for this internship application.

Currently a second year financial economics student at ESSEC Business School, I believe I possess a strong academic foundation required to pursue a career in Investment Banking. I am particularly attracted to Mergers & Acquisitions as I find exposure to an in-depth study on M&A firms in France during a six-month internship at Russell Reynolds Associates.

I am a quick learner with excellent interpersonal and communication skills as shown from my work experience and extracurricular activities. Delivering weekly lectures in Economy as Co-Head of the academic structure support

Participating in the organisation of the Excellence in Finance 2014 conference, I am responsible for Operations and was also involved with the Liaison Team. Duties include finding and contacting keynote speakers, delivering to tight deadlines and limited budget. This has taught me team working skills, attention to detail and providing tangible results. In addition, I am currently working on my own business venture XXXXXX.com, an online tuition website. As part of this project, I manage the entire process of business creation, from spearheading the project plan to the management of the web designer and the web developer.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my application. I hope that you will find me a good fit for Goldman Sachs and would very much appreciate the opportunity to interview with your company.

Yours faithfully,
