Sample cover letter for Full Time position at International Finance Corporation

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Please find enclosed my CV in application for the Investment Analyst position at International Finance Corporation based in Bogotá, Colombia. I have more than four years of management consulting experience with KPMG and almost three years of banking experience with Nemea Bank. I believe I have what you are searching for in an applicant - combination of knowledge, work experience, and skill sets to fulfil the responsibilities of this role.

My values align with IFC’s mission to finance private sector investments and improve social and environmental sustainability. I am very keen to work for a corporation where I can put my skill sets in use while benefiting the society as a whole through services and financing that IFC provides for private sector and assistance and advice that it provides for governments in developing countries. 

I have also recently earned my CFA charter by completing a study program that has enhanced my analytical skill, and which confirmed my strong desire to pursue a career in investment management industry. I am confident that these skills will serve me well in my career and would enable me to contribute value as a member of your team. I am therefore very keen to make a career move from management consulting to investment management – and the time to make that move is now!

I would appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate this through a personal interview. I therefore submit my application for your thorough consideration. 

Sincerely,
