Dear…

Thank you for accepting my application for an internship at ***. Your commitment to ease the  mission of western companies which cannot speak for themselves within Russian market inspires me. Indeed, I want to support your clients and learn about the international process from the inside.

This is an Italian student of twenty five years old who is attending a Master in International Management organized by a three Institutes partnership, namely the University of Bologna in Italy, ICN Graduate Business School in France and the University MGIMO in Russia. The course focuses on business administration, management at an international level, and the methodology of research and consultancy. Taking several classes into finance and banking, international business management techniques, marketing and strategy planning, international law and international contracting enables me to understand and craft international management processes starting from the stage of planning to the stage of implementing them. Furthermore, studying four months at MGIMO grants me the possibility to be accustomed to Russian market and its peculiar international trade partners. Discovering and, then, handling business Russian opportunities, which many western companies rise to challenge, are the acquiring capabilities this course is aiming to build.       

Since the very beginning of my studies, I have never lost sight of my long term goal: to become an internationalization promoter who attains a management position in a international consultancy firms. More in details, I have always been fascinated by gaining international experience regarding enter market strategy and its implementation process into Russia market. In doing so, it is of paramount importance to gain analytical as well as practical insight into these issues, in which your companies daily succeed in. Particularly, I am eager to learn and handle with all about the so called best practices which seems to lead the way of going international and I am confident that no one better than *** can enable me to do that.  Moreover, *** particularly attracts me owing to its focus upon Russian market and scope for strategy-marketing assignments. Your emphasis on client satisfaction is, nonetheless, particularly appealing.

Inclination to interpersonal relationships, sensibility for international cultures market orientation, capability to cope with various situations and problems related to the international business environment and, eventually, orientation to team working and management by objectives are my peculiar characteristics. Moreover, my high motivation toward building a precise professionalism as well as my natural easiness toward cross cultural experience will be beneficial to ***.      

Being entailed at ***, which is well known for its outstanding working standards, represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to gain necessary knowledge and experience. Furthermore, I am convinced this opportunity would be the perfect place to prepare myself to face the challenges of the business world across Russia.

I hope that, on consideration of my CV, you will be persuaded of my potential to perform well on this training internship and to make a real contribution as a member of your firm. I am pleased to supply further information in support of my application and look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Right you are, it's not that clear. The frist sentence is misleading. Actually, I didn't gain the internship yet. I am attanding a master and I would like to cover an internship postion at a international consulting firm in Russia. Moreover, I am going to "promote" myself, so this letter is going to be the first contact with the company.  I used the phrase "Thank you for accepting my application for an internship at ***" eaither to enphatise the fact that my work may be beneficial to the firm or to write something more attracting than "I am writing to gain an internship postion at ***"! However, I understnad that it sounds arrogant and I'd appreciate your advise.

Thanks a million

Daniele

Thank you so much for the feedbacks.

I have just reviewed the letter! Concerning the last sentences of the first paragraph, the point is that I am going to MGIMO Universtity, I haven't gone yet. That's why I wrote "studying at" instead of "having studied" and I would like to emphasise the knowledge and skills I'm going to gain but I haven't acuired them yet. For the rest, I made the corrections u advised me.

Could u check if it sounds better!

 thanks
