Dear Hiring Manager:

I am very interested in a summer accounting internship at XXX Capital Management. I found out about this position through XXX and was immediately intrigued because it aligns well with my career goals and skills. Let me start by saying that I think your firm is highly respectable. As a student who is already envisioning his financial future, it is crucial for people to make safe investments for favorable returns. By devoting your business to assist high net-worth individuals grow their personal wealth, you have helped many families achieve financial prosperity. I am excited at the possibility of helping this company grow and am confident that I possess the knowledge and ability to make that happen.

I am currently a junior at the University of Colorado studying accounting in the Leeds School of Business. This area of emphasis provides me with a strong set of skills that should be of particular interest to your business. While my work experience in this specific field may be limited, my coursework has given me a keen interest in managerial and financial accounting. My dream is to one day become a successful Certified Public Accountant and this internship would be a strong stepping stone to achieve that goal. In addition to having a strong passion for accounting, I have a great deal of management and leadership experience that will add value to your company. For instance, I created an organized basketball league which gave me the ability to successfully execute my own business plans. Also, the fact that I currently manage my own stock portfolio allows me to appreciate the utility of wealth management.

Already I am envisioning ways that I can be an asset to your company. Attached is my resume and if you have any questions please contact me at 112-574-1974. I look forward to discussing the next steps for an accounting internship with you. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
