Sample cover letter for Internship position at UN

Dear Sir/Madam,

For many years I have dreamed about working for the United Nations. Since before my graduation I have nurtured a love for nature and humans alike, and though what will come through in this application is my education background, working experience and language skills, I can not leave behind the true motivations and personal qualities I believe that make me suitable for the job. Based on my academic experience, personal talents and overall trajectory I strongly believe I would be an outstanding candidate to join the Young Professionals Program.

I embrace challenge and welcome change. I am a great team-worker and have strong communication skills. I acknowledge my role as a well-informed citizen who had the opportunity to research such relevant matters and because of that, I refuse to give up on leaving the world a better place for the future generations and am committed to this personal mission. Though a typed letter may fall short on passing through my passion, strong character and motivation, I assure they are solid and genuine.
