Dear Hiring Manger,

I would like to introduce myself as an applicant for the Finance Intern position at XYZ ltd. As a finance student at ABC University, I am excited to be applying for this position. Over the past three and a half years, I have become knowledgeable and well-versed in the field, and I feel confident in my ability to deliver in this position.

During my academic career, I studied a variety of courses that have given me the knowledge I know I need to be successful in the finance field. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn about macroeconomics, microeconomics, personal finance, project management, business, accounting, and human resources management. I am an individual who pays very close attention to detail. I have the ability to solve complex financial issues, and I possess strong analytical skills. My oral and written communication skills are stellar. I perform well in fast-paced environments.

As an Accounting Intern for Crane & Jenkins, I have a strong mathematics background to bring to the table. In elementary school, I went to math camp each summer. I received almost every award possible for high-achieving math students. I even went to a special class once a week with my math-oriented peers. In high school, I took advanced placement math, became a math club member, and was dual-enrolled at the local community college, taking basic accounting courses.

Thank you for your time and consideration of me as a candidate for the Finance Intern role at River Tech. I look forward to learning more about the company.

Sincerely,

Shane Watson.
