Sample cover letter for Internship position at JPMorgan Chase

I am a Master in Management student at EMLyon Business School majoring in Corporate Finance. Having a mathematical background, I am seeking for a significant work experience in Mergers and Acquisitions. Having grown up in four countries, studied in France and living in Shanghai, I have interpersonal skills that have made me a team-worker. As a result, I am applying for an internship in M&A beginning in April 2017.


The opportunity to join JPMorgan Chase & Co. team covers all my expectations of a rewarding job. I had the opportunity to learn about the expectations at JPMorgan Chase & Co. with friends of mine and EM Lyon’s Alumni who are part of the Investment Bank staff. I learnt that working in the M&A team implies a strong dedication to work, a solid training and a huge exposure to deals.

My most recent internship at Mazars (April-August 2016) in Transaction Services taught me essential knowledge about valuation, financial modelling and M&A accounting. With my civil engineering internship at Eiffage I gained a huge capacity of analysis and synthesis having daily constraints and changes on construction site. I have a strong dedication to work cobuilding Xewlou, a web business start-up in Senegal, managing the technical and financial aspects.
I would truly appreciate to assist my team to pitch top tier companies and investors and to work in a high-paced environment while having the scope to learn continuously and being intellectually challenged.
I am convinced that this personal insight in Investment Banking will confirm my desire to work in this field.


Finally, I am convinced that with my formal education and my personal feature, having practical experiences will make me ready to take on the challenging tasks as an intern in JPMorgan Chase & Co..
