Sample cover letter for Internship position at RSJ

At the suggestion of XXXXXXXX, I am writing to inquire about a possible summer internship (June-August, 2016). I understand that RSJ applies advanced mathematical and statistical methods to develop models for algorithmic trading.

I am currently a first year Masters student in YYYYY at ZZZZZZ. As my enclosed CV shows, I have previously worked for IIII where I gained valuable knowledge and experience in financial modelling. And at present, I have taken up courses such as Probabilistic methods in Finance, Asset pricing and Algorithms in optimisation.

I am enthusiastic about applying my recently gained knowledge as a summer intern where I hope to learn from professionals involved in analysing the business strategies and converting them into mathematical models and algorithms.

I am an accelerated-thinking and highly motivated individual with an innovative spirit and continuous interest in learning. My variegated background has provided me with the ability to be both tech-minded and analytical as well as communicative and able to employ international/cross-border thinking. I am confident that my education will afford me the ability to perform very well in a position at RSJ.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours Sincerely,
