Hello everyone,

An English learner

I am looking for an internship from April in order to complete my MSc in Software Engineering.

I am very keen to work with your company, world-renowned company who has a wonderful reputation for developing some of the best next-generation technologies over the web.

As your company is looking for innovative partners, my engineering background as well as my passion for technologies would be a positive addition to your team.


I have strong skills in C/C++ and Java programming and extensive knowledge in UNIX operating system and network programming.
I have expanded these skills through various projects using different techniques such as agile methods, test driven development and quality assurance measurements.

During my internships, my responsibilities have included designing, coding and testing of programs/databases and writing documentations such as requirement specification and integration testing.

In addition, I have been directly in touch with users and customers which made me particularly sensitive to communication and analytical issues and to the development of quality software responding to client’s needs.


My qualifications make me well suited to the project areas in which your Software Engineering division is working. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss a position with you, and you may reach me at (phone). I look forward to hearing from you.

I missed a comma:

A general note to everyone. Words such as documentation and information are always singular in English.
