Sample cover letter for Internship position at IB Intel

To Whom It May Concern,

I am an exceptionally-motivated and highly-ambitious high school senior at Brooklyn Technical High School who is interested in any potential goal-oriented internship positions available at your firm for the summer of 2016. I viewed your website and did not find any relevant employment opportunities, but this did not deter me from contacting you. Attending a rigorous institution such as Brooklyn Technical High School over the past four years has provided me with the necessary skills and attributes to be a valuable asset to DeSilva and Phillips. I am confident in my knowledge of the basic role an investment bank plays in the world of finance, and I have a strong desire to apply what I learned in a practical setting, My objective, however, is to acquire any position available that would allow me to further fortify my knowledge and gain industry experience.

Enrolling in courses such as AP Macroeconomics, as well as participating in this year’s High School Federal Reserve Challenge, has further stimulated my interest in pursuing a career related to economics such as finance. Courses such as AP Statistics, AP Calculus BC, and Linear Algebra have emboldened my attention to detail and honed my ability to comprehend difficult concepts. My participation in my school’s student council exposed me to the similar creative thinking and dedication that is accepted at your firm. I learned what it meant to work together as a team and how to exchange and articulate ideas with other individuals. I gained leadership experience through organizing tasks for numerous school events throughout the school year.

I look forward to potentially working with you in the future. I will be attending Cornell University beginning this fall, and will be pursuing a degree in Economics. I know that despite whatever position I am able to attain, it will prove to be a valuable learning experience for me. I am positive that my academic background will be extremely valuable to your organization. Please feel free to contact me at the above provided email address or phone number, and I hope to hear from you soon.
