Sample cover letter for Internship position at Sample

Dear Ms. Johnson,

I would like to request your consideration for the position of iPhone Game Developer, which I saw advertised on CareerCup.com.

I was particularly excited to see an opening within the

Swords team, as this is one of what I consider to be the most

addictive games. I’ve nearly uninstalled it from my phone

but, well, I just couldn’t. While the game play is fantastic

as a whole, I’ve been particularly impressed with how the

game leverages the iPhone features to implement realistic

collisions.

When I picked up the job description, I knew that not

only was the position a perfect match for my interests, but I

was perfect match for its requirements. I have over three years

of experience with writing mobile games, and pride myself

on having an artistic eye despite being “just” a developer. I

would love the opportunity to utilize both the artistic and the

technical aspects of my brain. My games have been shipped to

three mobile platforms, with over 100,000 downloads on the

iPhone itself.

Additionally, I place high value on the long-term maintainability

of a code base, and have implemented systems at

my previous company to improve code quality. Most notably,

I restructured our coding cycle to match industry best

standards. Gone were the days of bang-it-out; developers

needed to write design documents for any external APIs and

have them peer reviewed by at least two people. All source must

be code reviewed before being checked in. Bugs at the “critical”

level dropped 19 percent with the implementation of this

new system.

I think that Swords and I could have a wonderful working

relationship; we’re compatible down to the last little

detail.

I look forward to talking with you more about this

opportunity. Please contact me at 206-555-9323. Thank you

for your consideration.

Sincerly,

Mark
