Sample cover letter for Internship position at Heineken

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a student at X majoring in X expected to graduate in X.

I am a very hard-working, curious and confident female. As I am extremely responsible and organized, I have been elected as class representative for three consecutive years. I enjoy teamwork and have a strong commitment to excellence. My first professional experience was in summer 2013 in Teach First where I was part of the Fundraising Team in London. In August 2014, I started an exchange program in California, where I finished the semester earning First Honors from the University of San Diego. This experience taught me how to be independent, solve unforeseen problems and deal with different cultures.

As my family has always been very close to the Food and Beverage Industry, I have developed a great interest in this sector. In order to be competitive and successful in the beer industry, companies need to be creative, proactive and always looking for new opportunities. Heineken is not only known for being a world-leading beer company, but also for hiring the best people.

From the very beginning I thought of Heineken, specifically the Marketing team, as my first choice because of its culture of excellence and its positive, supportive and team-oriented environment. Now close to finishing my academic degree I know that spending this summer, preferably June and July, with your team would offer me an invaluable opportunity to learn, develop my career and take on increased responsibility.

Thank you in advance for your time, Yours faithfully,
