Bonjour,

Je postule à un stage à Bangkok dans une organisation internationale, c'est une opportunité très importante pour moi, du coup je n'ai pas arrêté de retourner dans tous les sens ma cover letter, au point que j'ai peut-être voulu en faire trop dans la formulation, et sans doute fait pas mal de fautes de grammaires (surtout sur les prépositions, et autres...).

Je serais vraiment très reconnaissante à la personne qui accepterait d'y jeter un coup d'oeil histoire de corriger les erreurs d'anglais que j'ai pu faire, je suis ouverte aussi à toute proposition pour son amélioration. Mais c'est surtout d'une correction dont j'ai besoin car je sais que je n'obtiendrai jamais de stage si je n'envoie pas une lettre impeccable.

Merci d'avance

Sarah

-j'en profite pour féliciter tous les volontaires de ce site, je trouve que votre démarche est vraiment formidable-

Dear ***:

I am writing in order to apply for an internship for the coming summer. I would sincerely enjoy the possibility of working for several weeks with (nom de l’organisation) in particular in the fields of (domaines d'activités de l'organisation) *** or ***. I am indeed very interested in the international stakes which these fields represent, and I would like to benefit from the challenge and the undeniable experience I would gain while working in your organization.

As you can see on the enclosed resume, I am a graduate of the University of the *** in Paris, with a DEA (Master) in international law. I am currently enrolled in a Master program of public international law at the University of ***, where I take courses such as law and minorities and sovereignty and globalization, in which I work more precisely on the cultural diversity. I have a full understanding of both private and public international law, though my skills are not limited to that field. Indeed, through my various professional experiences, I have acquired a great capacity of involvement and organization , and also a lot of adaptability. I have also had the opportunity to work outside of France, particularly in Turkey, the United States, and Peru, very often as part of a team. These experiences have made me more flexible and board-minded, and have provided me with a very good sense of initiative.

I am ready to invest fully and I am not afraid to confront problems or to take on new challenges. I see both as opportunities to gain even more experience and skills. I know that I will offer you, in addition to my abilities, my enthusiasm and my positive thinking, and that I will be able to make a meaningful contribution to ***.

If possible, I would like to work during the 8 weeks from June 5 to July 28. However, I remain open to the possibility of other dates if these dates are not convenient.

Please contact me for any other information that you might need regarding my application,

Thanking you for your attention,


Sincerely,
