Sample cover letter for Internship position at Axis Bank

Through ABC Financial Group's website, I learned about your bank's present career opportunities.

I am extremely interested in securing a position in the ABC Financial Group's Global Equity Summer Internship Program.

I am currently in my third year at IIT Bombay, India and am concentrating in finance, accounting, and real estate. Over the summer I completed an internship with Superprofs, Bangalore, and am currently interning with a VC firm. My experiences have provided me with a detailed knowledge of financial institutions and have enhanced my interest in pursuing a financial career. I feel that an internship with ABC Financial Group would be a logical next step in my development as an investment banker.

My main interest in joining ABC Financial Group stems from its impressive reputation. The prestige of the firm is best captured through its recent decoration as "America's Most Trusted Corporation" for the second consecutive year. I feel the firm's diverse clientele, large market capitalization, and established summer internship program would provide me with an invaluable experience to complement my studies at Business School.

I believe that I would succeed in the firm's exciting and motivated environment and that my strong work ethic, ability, and passion would make me a valuable asset to your firm.

I would prefer to work in global equity, however I am willing to consider any position that you offer me. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.

During my current internships, I dealt with a variety of budgets and conducted market research while handling numerous administrative duties. The experience allowed me to learn important skills and to develop the confidence needed to succeed in a competitive environment.

I would like to be considered for your Investment Banking Analyst Program, or a similar position that requires refined analytical and communication skills.

I was impressed to learn of Company’s recent acquisition of Hamburg Group, a tactic which I see as indicative of Company’s commitment to achieving growth and success in the future. Innovative and exciting approaches such as this, coupled with Company’s highly regarded Analyst Program, convinced me that Company is the ideal environment to begin my business career.

Evidence of my leadership and analytical skills can be seen in my responsibilities as analyst intern at Company, and my commitment to my academics. My educational background in government and business, combined with my internship experiences, has been excellent preparation for a career with Company.

Please review the enclosed resume and references and consider my application for your Investment Banking Analyst program. I would appreciate the opportunity to come to New York to meet with you and explore the company environment, as well as possible job opportunities at Company.

am writing to apply to the Financial Professional Associate Internship Program recently advertised on Career Wings, the University of North Florida’s job database. I am currently a junior double-majoring in Finance and Financial Services and am currently looking to gain experience in my field. My work background and coursework have supplied me with many skills and an understanding of insurance products and finance that I believe will allow me to quickly become an asset to your organization. My previous role as a teller at Bank of America provided me with an opportunity to work closely with the bank manager and gain first-hand experience working with customers on personal financial matters. In that position, I consistently received excellent scores on random customer surveys. In addition to my work experience, I have taken relevant upper level coursework in the areas of insurance, financial management and entrepreneurship and currently serve as Treasurer of the Finance and Investment Society. My coursework and campus involvement have allowed me to begin to build contacts within the financial services industry and to gain perspective on the many aspects of financial services and how to apply my education in real world situations. My resume is attached for your review and I would welcome the opportunity to interview for this position and discuss my qualifications in greater detail. Should you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am writing to apply to the Research Analyst position at MECLABS. I recently met with Larissa Bodniowycz in the Career Management Center at the University of North Florida (UNF) who recommended that I apply. I will be graduating in December with a double-major in Marketing and Management. I would be available to start work full-time immediately as all my courses are in the evenings. My education, marketing experience and ability to work with a team match the qualifications you are seeking in a Research Analyst and I am confident I could make valuable contributions to MECLABS. Through my coursework at UNF, I have learned marketing terminology, conducted case studies and worked with a team to develop a comprehensive marketing plan for a local company. I supplemented my formal education with an internship this past summer at Dow Chemical Company where I had the opportunity to conduct consumer research. I designed and distributed an online survey, compiled and analyzed the results in Excel and then presented my findings and recommendations to upper level management. My resume is attached for your review and I would welcome the opportunity to interview for this position and discuss my qualifications in greater detail. Should you need any

I recently completed my first semester at UNF and would love to become more involved with campus activities and during the spring 2014 semester. I believe that the Student Ambassador Program would be a great way to do that. This past semester, I was able to attend multiple workshops and events that the CMC organized including the STAR program, the site visit to Target and the entrepreneurship panel. The events were all professionally coordinated and I learned a lot from each. I would love to have the opportunity to assist with the promotion and execution of future events. I believe that my previous experience servicing in the US Coast Guard would allow me to make valuable contributions as a Student Ambassador. This past June, I was released from Active Duty after spending over five years at the Security Detachment in Mayport. I was the unit Training Officer and was responsible for coordinating and conducting Coast Guard training as well as managing electronic records for over 40 members. In addition, I was a tactical boat office, federal law enforcement officer and unit health programs coordinator. I believe that what I learned about leadership, organization, adaptability are transferable skills that will help the Student Ambassador Program. If selected to serve as a Student Ambassador, I would work very diligently to assist the CMC with the promotion and execution of future events and anything else needed. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.

My interest in finance developed during my internship last summer with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey’s Corporate and Investment Banking Group. At SunTrust, I increased my knowledge of various securities by using different investment databases, including Bloomberg, to prepare pitch books used by the Vice President with 11 separate clients. Due to my success with this, I was part of a client meeting regarding a potential deal of $5 million. This experience has given me a desire to spend more time working with individuals and businesses regarding their investments.

I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further about your Asset Management Summer Analyst position. In addition to applying here, I have also applied at your company website (xx@jpmorgan.com), but if you have any other information that would be of help to you as you review my candidacy, please contact me at 609-555-5555 or at jane.intern@vanderbilt.edu.

It also helps to reference the bank’s strategy, to mention any awards its won, and to cite any conversations you’ve had or comments you’ve read from other industry professionals and analysts who’ve given concrete reasons why it’s good place to work. Everything in this section needs to be positive. – You need to explain why you want to work for Deutsche Bank specifically without writing anything that denigrates its rivals. The more senior you are, the more you will need to reference solid strategy points at this stage.
