Dear

As I believe my educational background, experience, and interests are a good match for this
position, I would like to apply for an internship of up to six months.

During my bachelor in Bangladesh I took courses in substantive EU economics as well as

comparative European banking system obtained a thorough understanding of EU institutions
and the dynamics between Member States. In my bachelor, I also specialized in the highly
political subject of Business law. Especially half of my courses were focused on the field of
Economics. At International Islamic University Chiittagong (IIUC), I endeavoured to deepen my
knowledge of public international and European law. Moreover, I supplemented my previous
fields of expertise with courses in international finance and business law, and European
refugee, and International Economics. Besides my studies, I have engaged in a number of
extracurricular activities. In my capacity as board member in one of Economics & Banking Club,
I learned to work in a multicultural team on administrative tasks and Economical projects..

My interest in Political, Economic, Trade, Press and Information Section developed during my
fourth year when I realized that my understanding of national and international politics had been
determined by the socio-economic stability of the environment in which I had grown up.
Realizing that Europe's prosperity and peace cannot be taken for granted was the onset of my
ever increasing interest in organizations designed to resolve and prevent international conflicts
and foster international cooperation. Thus, despite my decision to study European law, I have
never been interested in the black letter law as such. In fact, the intersection of law and politics
is the pivotal point of my interests: Especially, my enthusiasm for public international law rests
on its close ties to the field of international relations and diplomacy. By the same token, my
decisions to study international finance law, European institutional law and international refugee
law were driven by my desire to fathom the underlying policy choices of the legal regimes.

This focus on the intersection of diplomacy, politics and law prompts me to apply for an
internship with your delegation. On the one hand, I hope this internship will be a first step in a
career in international organizations and allows for an insight into the daily work of a diplomatic
mission. On the other hand, I would like to enhance my understanding of the EU's role in
international organizations. The Delegation of the EU to the United Nations in New York is
particularly interesting to me due to the central role of the UN in the system of Economics; a
focal point of my studies. I am convinced my academic focus, my research skills and my
experience in working in an international environment would allow me to contribute
constructively to the work of your delegation.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information. I am also available for
interview at any time. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Yours sincerely,
