Sample cover letter for Internship position at face book

POSITION:

business analyst

From the NUS talent connect website I learned about your need for a Quant Developer intern and I am so excited to see your opening for this position.With my education research background, my training in programming projects, I believe I could make a valuable contribution to HedgeSPA in this position.


In August I will complete my M.Sc. in Quantitative Finance under Department of Mathematics in NUS. This programme supplies me with not only many advanced knowledge in mathematics skills and an understanding of financial markets and derivatives;for example, I have completed courses in Financial Derivatives and Mathematics Finance which shed light on the basic principle of pricing of derivatives and how to associate math to solve finance problems. What’s more, as part of the requirements for modules of Financial Modelling, I am involved in a project that has given me experience in coding with Matlab. I was responsible for writing codes of pricing Vanilla option and American option by Binomial Tree Model, Finite Differences Scheme and codes of exotic options by Forward Grid Shooting Method and Single Variable Method. I also have finished courses in statistics and research methods. As a curious person, I am taking C++ course and self-learn Python this semester. My good friend named Yuan Yuan now is working in HedgeSPA as a part- time intern. I learn from him how wonderful and challenging is working in HedgeSPA, and I think I am the kind of person you are seeking for—one who is proactive with high Adversity Quotient. What’s more I am always very interested in quant for keeping me learning and informed. I believe it will be my honor if I could make my first foot print on my career path with the internship of HedgeSPA where my strong analytical and problem solving skills will be utilized.

I believe my combination of finance education background and good personal skills is an excellent match for the position you described. Thank you very much for your consideration.I look forward to receiving your reply.
