Sample cover letter for Internship position at North Carolina State

To whom it may concern: 

I am a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a masters in social work and I would like to be considered for the internship position. As you can see from my enclosed resume, I have focused my education on poverty and indigence and am eager to advocate for the rights of the minorities. My child social work experience  will make me a strong advocate for your clients. 

As a graduate social work student, I have worked with and advocated for the impoverished across many North Carolina counties and built upon my coursework in social work to advocate for their rights and interests. I honed my client interviewing skills, conducted discovery including deposing the social worker assigned to the case, and presented testimony and cross-examined witnesses during advocacy for change. During my professional work experiences, I have developed a rapport with citizens from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and have used those communication skills with my clients. 

In addition to this in-depth knowledge of social work, I have developed strong research and writing skills. I wrote an appellate level brief in my clinic case and will be presenting the oral argument should the court schedule the case this summer. I also spent last summer with the Office of Juvenile Delinquents, where I researched and drafted appeals for sentence reduction, where I was able to utilize my attention to detail as a team member. 

My blend of social work experience and communication skills will allow me to immediately contribute to the work of the 28th District. I look forward to hearing from you. 

Sincerely,
