Sample cover letter for Internship position at erasmus

Dear Sir or Madam,

Let me introduce my self, my name is Lena Mauer, age 21, studying (course of study) with a focus on (major). Currently I am in my 4^th semester of the Bachelor of Arts program at the  (name of school/university) in (city).

The obligatory internship abroad enables me to link my theoretical knowledge with some practical experiences and provides me with important soft skills. That is the reason why I apply for the ERASMUS program.

This summer I will complete the internship at the marketing department of (company)in (city). (company) is a worldwide operating, stock listed company, which develops, produces and markets diagnostic and life-supporting devices for hospitals and rescue services.

During an internship in the summer 2010 at the project management office of the (name) I got in contact with the products of XX and gained an insight in their working enviroment.

Thereupon I decided to apply for an internship at Ambu, due to their internationality, a unique business culture and their status as a market leader for anesthetics equipment.

My participation in the (project) of the (name) as the head of marketing and the interesting lectures and business insights I gained during my studies, have aroused my interest in marketing.

From the work in the marketing department I expect a deeper understanding of the different marketing tools, market analysis and the implementation of variable marketing processes as well as getting to know a foreign working culture.

Living and working in a spanish speaking country seems to be a challenging opportunity for me, in order to develop not only my language skills but also my personality and working horizon. The working culture in Germany and Spain varies in many aspects and the work abroad will help me to learn more about coping with different cultures and emphazise the international direction of my study.

In order to make the best experience out of my stay abroad, I am applying for the xx. Its financial support as well as the honor to be a selected student, will help me to achieve my goals abroad in the best possible way and it also enables me to experience all of the spanish culture. I am personally convinced that I will complete a successful internship not only due to my open-minded attitude towards new environments but also because of my focused way of working.

I will be very thankful, if I receive an xx grant for the internship abroad.

Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely
