Sample cover letter for Internship position at HSBC

Dear Sir or Madame,

Currently, I am a master of Finance student at EDHEC. Recently I was introduced to HSBC via EDHEC’s career center and was impressed with what I learned of corporate finance. I am interested in pursuing a Private Equity internship position at your firm, and have enclosed my resume and background information below.

As a finance student in my university, I assisted the professor who is in part of an investing-hold company in the process of assigning credit ratings to various bonds and securitization transactions issued by a number of banks and corporates. Also I participated in macroeconomic analysis, industry research and analysis, financial statements spreading and ratio analysis, and cash flow modeling. Finally, I wrote financial analysis report for the rating project. Given my professional background in finance, I have enhanced my analytical and problem solving skills especially in mathematics. I believe that I am a particularly good fit for the internship position at HSBS. I am impressed by your requires and description of job and the significant responsibilities given to an intern in the equity capital market, and I look forward to joining and contributing to HSBC.

A copy of my resume is enclosed for your reference. I would welcome an opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you and learn more about HSBC at your earliest convenience. I can be reached via email or phone both enlisted above.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
