Sample cover letter for Internship position at facebook

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a first year Statistics with Finance student at London School of Economics, and am writing to express my interest in applying for the 2016 EMEA Spring Insight Programme.

My desire to participate in the Spring Insight Programme would give me valuable exposure into workings of a successful banking institution. Having spoken to Ellie Heathenil, a former intern in a networking drinks event, I am attracted to her description on the culture, at Morgan Stanley, of investing in its employees as it wants them to be the tomorrow leaders of the industry. The long term opportunity for professional growth is the reason why I think Morgan Stanley was recognised by the Euromoney as the best investment bank of the 2015. This doesn’t just evidently indicates the investment in people serves its right in providing the best client orientated investment services, but also your firm’s commitment to strive for excellence. As such, I aspire to be part of your firm.
