Sample cover letter for Internship position at US Embassy

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am Kristofer Lazarovsky and I would like to express my interest to take part in an internship program at the Embassy of the United States in Bratislava. I am currently studying masters degree program at University of Southern Denmark and it is my hope that this internship opportunity will give me the invaluable experience within diplomatic environment and enhance my motivation and skills I already possess.

There are lots of reasons why I would like to work at the Embassy of the Unites States. Firstly, I am really impressed with culture and the history of the United States. During the forth months period in America, I had a chance to meet many amazing people, particularly, one lady from Washington DC. She has been working for governmental organization so we could and we did a lot of discussions about US culture, traditions, the importance of the role of the US in world economy and many topics regarding different foreign policies all over the world. This experience plant the seed of interest in me and since that trying to gain any knowledge or findings within US policies which could once bring and maybe implement in my homeland Slovakia.

Secondly, this internship will allow me the opportunity to observe the inner workings of the Embassy setting, meet highly skilled and talented people within diplomacy and other personalities from which to grow and learn.

Yours faithfully,

Lukáš Bojkovský
