Cairo, Egypt

Dear Mr. /Ms. I’m writing this cover letter to express my interest in the SICANA Promotion
Internship. I’m a double Bachelor degree holder both in political science (2019) and economics
(2021) from the faculty of Economics and Political Science, Cairo University.

I worked as a volunteer with AEISEC in their education program in Turkey (2018) and Indonesia
(2019). My role was to teach children from different age groups basic English. Those two
experiences have enriched my knowledge and understanding of different cultures and societies
and developed teamwork skills. Having to communicate with children who natively speak
different language, connect and teach them shaped my personality and taught me patience and
creativity and qualified me for this Job. For a year I worked as a writer for a political
encyclopedia website. Our goal was to provide Arabic speakers with a reference to political
science concepts and theories in their mother tongue through translating famous and important
articles and definitions to Arabic. This experience was really important and meaningful to me as
I got to use my educational background and language knowledge for the general good.

Currently I work as an MIS officer, credit information and analytics and an in Societe Arabe
Internationale De Banque (SAIB). My role is mainly providing regular Branches’ informative &
analytical reports and supporting the Branch and Regional Managers in using the in-house MIS
systems and reports to facilitate the decision making process. However due to my ability to
learn rapidly I was able to learn basic SQL and participate in building a tool that prepare and
extract central bank reports automatically then develop other two tools to facilitate the
workflow in the bank on my own in the course of few months which eventually helped in
minimizing the operational risk in different sectors. This opportunity is teaching me a lot until
this moment as I’ve learnt how to manage, analyze, interpret, and present data related to the
bank and follow patterns to come up with conclusions. I was also able to test my ability to
acquire knowledge of a field that was totally vague to me and not related to my educational
background to fulfill work needs. Adding to that my computer skills have improved dramatically
since I started this Job. Now I’m able to use Microsoft Access and Excel to improve the accuracy
of the results. This job has provided me with a great experience and knowledge. However, I‘d
love to dedicate my life to pursue my passion and contribute with my experience and
knowledge to the benefit of organization. I’m aware this Job requires project planning,
coordination, following up and implementation skills, communication skills, Achieving highest
level of accuracy and effectiveness, analytical skills to provide insights and observations as well
as discussions, observing and ensuring high quality and timely inputs, I believe that my previous
experiences qualify me for this role whether through my academic background, volunteering
experiences , working in SAIB or the courses I took I was able to acquire the needed skills for this
opportunity.

In SAIB I’ve proven myself to be reliable, dedicated, fast-learner, flexible, and hard-worker. I
believe there is no better place to gain more experience related to International relations and
economics than the ICC. I believe that with my skills and experiences, dedication and hard work
along with my energy and motivation would be beneficial for the ICC. I hope to be given this
chance as I’m confident that I’m capable of meeting and exceeding your expectations. Thank
you for your consideration. Best Regards,
