RE: Application Marketing Internship Position
Dear Mr. Taylor,
I am writing to express my interest in the marketing internship program as advertised on [website.com] at [Company X]. My academic and career ambitions align with the stated objectives, and I am convinced that my personal attributes and expertise can add value to your summer campaigns. Therefore, I would like to apply for the marketing internship position.
To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Name] and I am currently a senior at Woodbridge High School. As an eager high school student, I gained interest in digital marketing by supervising the Yearbook Club campaigns. Between the buzz of exams, I noticed the sharp, witty and bold advertisements of [Company X]. I admire your perseverance to promote eccentric content about [Subject]. Therefore, I want you to consider this application for the marketing internship position.
I am a highly motivated high school student with proven academic results, including a GPA of 3.80 and participation in extracurricular activities. My teachers have commended me for my participation and dedication to the school community. These efforts allowed me to develop my personal attributes:
• Organizational skills: during my managerial role at the yearbook club, I had to supervise the content coverage and story features. Other related organizational activities involved: maintaining the budget and yearbook sales campaign.
• Communication skills: experience of working in a team, contacting prospective advertisers and setting up sales contracts allowed me to develop my communication skills.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my potential contribution to [Company X]’s summer campaigns. For your convenience, I have attached my application materials including the resume and references. Please let me know if you need any additional information. You can reach me via [Email address] or directly contact me at [Phone number]. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Tim Durant
