Sample cover letter for Internship position at Morgan Stanley

I am a first-year MBA student at the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College and would like to be considered for your summer associate position in investment banking. I am interested to work with Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown, because of its reputation for excellence, global presence and particular strength in health care sector banking.

Following the completion of my Ph.D. degree in Molecular Pharmacology from Stanford and prior to business school, I worked in business development at a privately held biotechnology company, Dynavax Technologies. I had a unique opportunity to work directly with the CEO on corporate partnering and capital raising efforts. Some of my projects included revising the Company�s business plan, developing a model for estimating sales of our lead drug candidate and designing investor presentations. I also played a lead role on behalf of the Company in drafting the business section of our S-1document with our investment bankers and lawyers. The positive experience I had, working with our drafting team, confirmed my long interest in pursuing a career in investment banking.

I believe my strong technical background in drug research/biotechnology combined with the business and finance skills from my work experience and education at Babson would be valuable to Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with representatives of Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown to discuss my credentials.
