Sample cover letter for Internship position at Bank of america

Dear Sir or Madame,

Please consider my application for the investment banking (summer) analyst position at Bank of America, as presented on your website. Looking forward to meet you at the Investment Banking Weekends at Bocconi University in October, I was introduced to your firm by the university Career Service. I am eager to be part of a team that values teamwork, integrity and honesty, and puts these principles at the heart of its strategy

Gathering information online and during class, I developed a particular interest for Investment Banking which is a strongly stimulating and competitive environment and where the learning curve is very steep with new challenges every day. The magnitude of challenges requires great adaptability which I have demonstrated as an exchange student for a school-year in a hostile place such as Alaska at the age of sixteen.

Classes such as Financial Institutions, Corporate Valuation, Financial Math have equipped me with strong quantitative and analytical skills which are mandatory to support the firm’s Investment Banking business. Furthermore, at your company, teamwork is considered as a fundamental principle, capable of delivering great results if achieved properly. I completely share this view having played in a competitive basketball team for almost 13 years where good relationships are required on a day to day basis to reach the common goal both with your teammates and with your boss.

I’m keen to discuss this opportunity with you in person and am available for interview at your convenience. I look forward to your response
