Sample cover letter for Internship position at SGCIB
business analyst
Dear Mr. Crowley:
Two of your former interns, Brian Hodges and
Martha Smith, suggested I contact you regarding finance internship
opportunities. They are familiar with my background and felt I would be an
excellent match for your summer internship program.
Currently a junior majoring in finance at UNT, I
have demonstrated strong academic performance in all finance courses,
maintaining a 3.5 GPA in my major. The courses I have completed have given me a
solid foundation in the tools, processes and methodologies involved in the
successful analysis and management of portfolio-investment strategies. I have a
proven ability to learn challenging concepts quickly and have developed
competencies in diverse areas, including:
| Industry
research/information sourcing
Comparative analysis Quantitative analysis Pro forma analysis Cash-flow analysis |
Financial
modeling and asset valuation
Portfolio and asset management Insurance plans and mutual funds Retirement and estate planning Tax planning and investment strategies |
In
addition to my analytical strengths, I bring to the table advanced computer
skills (with cross-platform exerptise in Windows and Mac); expertise in the MS
Office suite of products; and familiarity with programming languages including
SQL, HTML and VB.
Since starting college, I have worked part-time
(summers/holidays/evenings) as a clerk at Wal-Mart. In this position, I have
earned a reputation for consistently exceeding company and customer
expectations. Wal-Mart's store manager has asked me to return this summer, but
I yearn to gain corporate finance experience. I am impressed by Acme's
innovation and success, and I would very much like to be part of such a winning
company.
The enclosed resume provides more details of my
skills and achievement track record. If you agree that I would make a valuable
addition to your team, please feel free to call me at (555) 555-5555 or email
me at [email protected]. I know you are busy, so thank you for your time,
and I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
