Sample cover letter for Internship position at Paypal

To whom it may concern,

The purpose of this letter to express my strong interest in obtaining a position with PayPal. I am applying for the risk analyst position for the summer of 2016. I have learned of this position from the listing from my own independent research.

Growing up in the heart of Silicon Valley, creativity has driven the industry’s success, but yet so many people of the motivated people all around me were so set on following pre-defined paths. I’ve never wanted that; I wanted to follow a career pursuit that will allow me to continue to expand my creativity long past my childhood, which brought me to marketing and business, especially at PayPal, the birthplace of so many great entrepreneurs. Now that I am a student at UC Berkeley, I have the opportunity to follow through with my dream. By choosing me, PayPal will be receiving an intern with a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills, and is comfortable interacting with anyone, skills that are intrinsic to the success of any business leader. PayPal is the best fit for me as working here would give me an unparalleled experience where I can blend my passion for marketing and business, my desire to be work in Silicon Valley tech, and obtain the experience of working in a high growth environment.

I would love to meet you and explain to you more of my past business experiences, own venture experience, capabilities, and most importantly, my interest working in becoming a part of PayPal. I am available to meet on the every day of the week. You will be able to reach me at ______ and _____. Thank you for taking the time to review my application.

Sincerely,
