Fontana, CA 92336 November 25, 2016 Ashley Ward 5500 University Pkwy. San Bernardino, CA 92407 Dear Ms. Ward, I am applying for the internship position available at Kaiser Permanente, which I learned about through my course at Cal State San Bernardino. I have enclosed a copy of my resume for your review and consideration. Working with the community is something that I am passionate about. After taking HSCI 244 Intro to Culinary Arts, I have learned about proper ways to prepare healthy meals that can help individuals live a healthy lifestyle. With my research on diabetes within our local community, I have found that San Bernardino County has the second highest mortality rate for diabetes in Southern California. Through your Nutrition program, we can help bring this rate down in our community. Through my studies, work, and volunteer experience I have developed time management, organizational, and communication skills. This internship will help me maximize my potential and better prepare me for a job in the field. I believe that my professional experience and standards would make me a valuable asset to your organization. A letter and a resume can tell you only so much about my motivation and qualifications. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my background with you in person. Please contact me at (909) 278- 5505 or agsmilan@yahoo.com. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,
