Sample cover letter for Internship position at US Bank

To Whom It May Concern:

I’m contacting you to inquire about the Global Commercial Banking Credit Summer Analyst in Portland, Oregon that US Bank is offering. I’ve been waiting to apply for a position of the stature since my freshman year at university and I’ve worked extremely hard in my studies to meet the requirements necessary to apply. I believe with my previous accounting work experience and my unrelenting drive to gain more knowledge in the accounting and financial field that I would prove to a valuable asset for the company going forward.

Over the past two years I’ve found a passion for business but more specifically the financial aspects within business. Because risk analysis is one of the core principals within finance I feel this internship would expand my knowledge within this area and better prepare me for my career in the future. US Bank is one of the largest banks in the world and I’m excited and ready to do whatever it takes to be successful within the company and think my motivation and aspirations will coincide perfectly with US Bank’s continual message of greatness and excellence.

Again, I believe this internship would be an excellent opportunity for me to not only gain real world business experience but also be able to network with professionals within a business and bank like no other. I can’t wait for the opportunity and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
