Sample cover letter for Internship position at UBS

Dear Sir or Madam:

My name is XXX. I am currently studying Business Administration at the University XXX. Having read about the event Masterclass – UBS goes Asia on your website, I am really excited about this chance to learn more about UBS, and at the same time to get a specific insight into the financial markets in Asia.

As the first Swiss Bank to establish a physical presence in Asia over 35 years ago. UBS has been selected as the “Best Private Bank in Asia” by regional financial publications. Its vast financial expertise and its highly talented and dynamic people enable UBS to keep a pre-eminent status in the competitive and rollercoastering world of finance.

Being a business student with banking and risk management as major fields of study, I have always been interested in the complex mechanism of the financial markets. Because of my background, a deeper understanding on the issues concerning the Asian markets, especially the Chinese, is of great value for me. Furthermore, the challenging and rewarding environment of UBS attracts me a lot.

The study at the University XXX has given me not only the essential knowledge on economics and business, but also the ability to work in a multicultural environment. Having obtained an excellent academic result while working part-time at XXX, I have gained confidence in my people-skills as well as my ability in solving problems.

What I have also learnt here in Europe is that: in order to success, a business must fit into the culture in which it has its presence. Grown up in China, I can bring not only the business knowledge but also a real Chinese flavor into the Masterclass event.

I hope that my application interests you, and if you require any further information I can be contacted by mobile phone or e-mail. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
