Dear Sir or Madam,

I write to you with the intention of showing my interest and motivation in completing a three-to-four month summer internship within your company. I have heard of your firm while looking up the list of the ventures that will participate in the “private discussions” with the students which will take place during the ----- career fair.

My name is -----, a dynamic and enthusiastic 21-year-old French man. I am currently a first year Master’s Student at ----- and I have just completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at my home university ----- in France. I am mostly interested in working in the “Technical Segment” within the area of my specialization that is Signal Processing, Communication Systems and Electronics. However owing to the broad training that I got in France and being very curious, I am not afraid of working on other projects that refer to other disciplines such as Computer Science or Electric Power Engineering.

In addition to my studies, I was an active member of the European Association of Students of Technology BEST for two years. Thus, it enabled me to travel abroad and work on my first projects in an intercultural environment which I found again as an exchange student here in Sweden. I am confident that I can be an active, open minded and useful member of you team, willing to contribute during my internship. I am therefore very excited of being able to become an intern in your company and pursue my double wish of working on enhancing projects in an international environment.

My resume contains additional information on my experience and skills. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my candidacy with you. I can be available for an interview at your convenience. Thank you for you attention.

Very truly yours, 

-----

Thank you for your help! I didn't expect such a fast answer!

But now I had another sort of covering letter to write. It is to apply for a sort of 30 min long "private discussion" that we can have with several companies during my university career fair. So if you could help me again..., i posted it below! Thanks again!

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you to express my interest and motivation in learning more about your company that I have heard of while looking up at the list of ventures that will participate in the “private discussions” with students during the Armada career fair.

My name is -----, I am a dynamic and enthusiastic 21 year old French man. I am currently a first year Masters Student in Electrical Engineering at ----- and I have just completed a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering in the university of -----, France. Since some of your activities correspond to my studies and looking for a three-to-four month summer internship, I would be very interested in working in your company.

However, as I have heard a lot of good and bad things about the consultant job, I would like first to get some concrete information about what that is. Moreover being new in this country, I would appreciate a conversation with you to also discuss about the trainee recruitment process in the Swedish firms, especially in your company.

Thanking you for your consideration and looking forward to talking with you,

Yours truly,

-----

Hi!

Thanks Savy! I've been accepted to some of these "private discussions"!

Hi!

Thanks again Savy!

I rewrote some parts of the letter actually! I think the last letter didn't fit to the company I'm applying for!

So could you check please...?

And I'm not really sure about the third paragraph of this letter.

I don't know how to link the fact that I enjoy much both my studies and the country I live in with the fact that I will make an active, open minded and useful member to... etc! So could you check that too please?

Thanks!
