Hi Sara,

I've made a number of changes, so please read carefully. You sound like an extremely confident person (which is an asset).

Good luck with this. Write again if you need more help.

Best wishes, Clive

Dear Mr, Schmidt ,

if you are looking for a determined and detail-oriented person who will contribute to your company's success, I would like to encourage you to consider my application for a 5 months internship in your company starting October 2006.

My name is Sara Rossi and I am a 19 years old, highly motivated student at the University of Milan, Italy. Currently Iâm in the second year of a three year bachelorâs degree in Economics and Management Sciences, with a major in Tourism Management.

I have always thought that theory is the basis of everything, but at the same time I am convinced that experience is what makes a person unique. I think that an internship in your company can definitely provide a rare opportunity for gaining the valuable âhands- on experienceâ that I am looking for. I am confident that courses in marketing, event management, communication and promotion of tourism, combined with several business courses, will make me a good candidate for this internship.

Personally, I define myself as an energetic and open-minded achiever with a dynamic, goal-oriented attitude and with an insatiable appetite to keep learning. I have always demonstrated commitment to excellence, through my academic career and through my previous working experience. If you give me the opportunity, I will be glad to continue this commitment to excellence by working in your company.

Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me via email. I look forward to your response. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Sara Rossi
