The Tapatio Man Address City, CA date Date POI Position Company xyz Dear POI: I was speaking

with Dr. Awesome and he mentioned an open internship at XYZ Insurance over the Summer of 2014, and encouraged me to contact you and apply. I will be pursuing a career in the actuarial profession, specifically the P & C sector, and I believe this internship would be an ideal introduction to the field. I am currently a senior at San Francisco State University, and will be graduating this May. I will be taking Exam 1 in March and Exam 2 in August. Having to balance school and work from the time I was in high school, I developed skills that will play a crucial role in the actuarial exam process, as well as helping me in the workplace: an unwavering work ethic and detailed time management skills. While employed at SFSU, my verbal, written, and leadership skills improved by leading group discussions in class and through online forums for courses in Statistics, Calculus I and II. During my time working at the Good Life Grocery, I honed crucial leadership, organizational, and project management skills. I would be most grateful if you considered me for the open internship position at XYZ Insurance. Attached is my resume, outlining my qualifications and past experiences. Your time is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to hearing back from you regarding an interview. Sincerely,
