Sample cover letter for Internship position at Shell

Re: Internship Request

Dear Mr,

I am writing to express my interest in an internship opportunity withSHELL International Ltd. This

opportunity was brought to my attention by the placement office at NHTV University of Applied

Sciences. Where I am currently in my second year of study, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in

International Real Estate and Facility Management.

Shell attract my attention because of its outstanding reputation, competence and willingness to take on corporate social responsibility. Moreover, this internship would provide me with a greater insight into the industry and especially by fulfilling a large number of tasks. In my opinion an internship at Shell would define my area of expertise and be a great start for a successful career.

My passion with the service industry stems from childhood, and I have actively taken part in organizing

charity events to broaden my expertise outside the classroom. I am confident that my skills in

supervising, analytical ability and flexibility that I have developed through my work and volunteer stints,

as well in-depth theoretical knowledge, would put me in a good stead to aid your company. I believe

that I have what it takes to succeed in Shell’s exciting and motivated environment, and that my

strong work ethic, passion and eagerness to learn would be a valuable asset for the company.

I would like the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my possibilities of fulfilling the position in an

interview. Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached at either number listed or

through email.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,
