Vice President, Analyst Recruiting
Global Analyst, Inc.

New York, NY 12345
Dear Ms. Smith:
I am writing to you in order to express my interest in the financial analyst internship for summer
20XX. I believe that my interest in investment banking, coupled with my major in Industrial
Systems Engineering and minor in finance, make me an ideal candidate for the position.
My strengths as related to this internship role include the following:

I had an internship with Clothing Corp. as a financial analyst. I was able to develop
strong practical and analytical skills. I also had the opportunity to observe, from an
operational perspective, what it takes for a company to succeed and thrive.

My classroom and project experience in ergonomics allowed me to work successfully in

a team to redesign operations for a small business in order to improve efficiency. I
developed my communication and leadership capabilities, as I was in charge of
delegating tasks, creating the working outline, and compiling our finished product.

While maintaining a 3.75 GPA, I have been an active leader on campus. I served as the
treasurer of my sorority, Kappa Theta Delta. Additionally, I am an active participant in the
Environmental Engineering Design Team, which works to solve environmental problems
through innovative and environmentally sound engineering. Specifically, I have worked
on a project to create a more green work environment for large corporations that waste a
great deal of paper products.

Finally, I also successfully manage my own investment portfolio.

I believe that my demonstrated success and interest in the field makes me an excellent fit for
this program. I hope that you find my skill set to be in line with your needs and I look forward to
an opportunity to interview for this position.
Sincerely,
Scarlet Buckeye
