Sample cover letter for Internship position at Natixis

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am a senior in the Operations Research and Financial Engineering department at Princeton very interested in the full time Program Analyst position within the Global Markets and Investment Banking divisions as advertised on Princeton’s career services website. I’m not only attracted to your firms’ leadership and excellence in asset management on a global scale, but also to your work culture that actively promotes team work, creative problem solving and innovation. Given my professional experience, quantitative background and teamwork skills, I believe I am a good fit for your analyst position.

My major in Princeton emphasizes a quantitative approach to finance through probability,

stochastic processes, and optimization amongst other subjects. Backed with such quantitative

skills, I believe I will not only be able to orient well into the analytical and quantitative nature of the Global Markets and Investment Banking divisions, but also leverage my problem solving skills to add real value.

Sincerely
