Sample cover letter for Full Time position at JP Morgan

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is [] and I hold a first class BSc degree in [] from []. I am writing to express my interest in a full-time analyst position within the asset management division of J.P. Morgan, which I explored through networking with [] (VP []), when I had a chance to find out more about the firm and its culture. The firm’s ideology defined by excellence, partnership and directness has persuaded me that J.P. Morgan is a brilliant place to build a career in financial services sector. I am excited to join the bank that liaises with more than 50% of the world’s individuals with a net worth of more than $10bn, making the company one of the largest private banks worldwide. Finally, I was impressed to find out that J.P. Morgan supported earthquake victims in Nepal through its JPMorgan Chase Foundation, as I also raised funding for this purpose through cooperation with UNICEF.

I have previously interned in a relationship management support role at [] and in an IB/Research position at a CIS-based boutique firm []. Throughout my internship on the global subsidiaries credit desk at [], I developed strong financial data analysis skills as well as high degree of attention to detail. On the job, I supported a team of four relationship managers via opening new corporate client accounts and managing the existing ones as well as assisting with financial due diligence under tight deadlines. During my most recent internship at [], I improved my ability to create investment pitches and confidence to prospect both investors and corporate clientele. I conducted company valuation and prepared investment teasers, analysed agro and metals&mining industries as well as publicly listed companies. The results were then published in the investor's guidebook presented at an international investment forum – the event that gathered 500+ people through my extensive networking efforts.

Given my background in emerging markets relationship management, my organisational and analytical skills, together with my fluency in both Russian and English languages, I am confident that I am a well-fitted candidate for the wealth management analyst position and that I will be able to contribute positively to the AM Global Wealth Management department at J.P. Morgan. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours faithfully,
