Sample cover letter for Internship position at UN

I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Information Systems Management with The Greenwich University, a certification programme in Cisco at Networks Dynamics Academy and a certification in Internal Auditing with the Institute of Internal Auditors.

Since I first became interested in ICT, I have had extreme respect for the United Nations and believe that you truly personify what a great organization with incredible ICT management and controls can do in a global village. In addition, I am researching on the impact of technology and proposing a national linkage of information systems and providing virtual machine simulated prototypes of such systems for my thesis.

Accustomed to environments where team work, safety, efficiency, quality service delivery and deadlines are a priority and handling multiple jobs is a norm, I enjoy new challenges and have a huge appetite to learn and improve skills. Not only do I think that I would learn a great deal about ICT systems, tools and processes from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), I am also very certain that my unique skills would make me a highly valued intern.
