Sample cover letter for Full Time position at IFC

To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to apply for the position of Investment Analyst in Washington, DC advertised on your website. The details of this position's duties and responsibilities, as well as the required skill set, perfectly align with my career path, prompting my interest to work within the Financial Institution Group of the International Finance Corporation.

This application is motivated by a long nursed interest in building a career in finance within an international organization such as the International Finance Corporation. This will give me a bigger and broader opportunity to learn and expand my investment management skills, especially in the context of promoting sustainable development in emerging markets. Further, I have always desired to be part of a team of investment professionals that proffer direct solutions to real economic challenges.

I have earned a reputation as a self-directed professional with excellent quantitative, analytical, and communication skills. As a resourceful problem solver, I have a proven ability to conceptualize solutions to challenging situations and maximize success. My recent collaboration in a public-private partnership transaction required my expertise in financial modeling, the preparation of complex legal documents and the application of strategic tools and techniques to create extensive financial projections and a strategic implementation plan. I am confident I can leverage these skills to make an immediate and valuable contribution to the Financial Institution Group.

I have enclosed my resume for your review and would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely
