Subject: Summer Student Application
Dear Sirs,
My name is (Insert Name) and I am an first year undergraduate student at (Insert Whatever). The bilingual program, which I am double majoring in, involves both Psychology and Political Science (Law); and I hope to pursue a career in either of these fields. During my first year at the Glendon Campus, I was selected as a Glendon Ambassador to high school students. I have taken on the responsibility of hosting a radio show engrossing discussions upon world events, student and national affairs, pop culture and showcasing a variety of music. This show, entitled “Parental Advisory”, invites local and international listeners to voice their opinions upon a variety of subjects, including the aforementioned.
Through my work experience at McDonalds and Samsonite Inc., I have learned and practiced leadership, customer relations and interactions, organization, problem solving and time management skills. I am confident that my determined work attitude, outgoing nature and eagerness to learn new skills makes me an excellent candidate to join your forward-looking team. These attributes, combined with my enthusiasm to learn, will be essential to my contributions and success during this internship.
Given the opportunity, I am confident that I can apply the same skills set within this internship and be a valuable addition to your team. I would be happy to have a discussion with you or members of your committee to see if we can establish a mutual interest. I certainly look forward to exploring this further. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
-Insert Name-

Hope it helps!
