Sample cover letter for Internship position at JP Morgan

Dear Mr Black,

Please find enclosed my CV in application for the Summer internship program at JP Morgan.

I am a penultimate year student at the University of Cambridge. The nature of my degree course has prepared me for this position. It involved a great deal of independent research, requiring initiative, self-motivation and a wide range of skills. For one course, Qunatitative Methods, an understanding of the Financial industry was essential. I found this subject very stimulating.

I am a fast and accurate writer, with a keen eye for detail and I should be very grateful for the opportunity to progress to market reporting. I am able to take on the responsibility of this position immediately, and have the enthusiasm and determination to ensure that I make a success of it.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely

David Miliband
