COVER LETTER:

Dear Sir/Madam:
My name is NAME SURNAME and I am graduated from XXX University with internship experience in audit, equity research and analysis. I believe that position of the XXX at your firm will be a dream position for me after graduation and I consider myself to be a good fit for it.
I base my claim on the following achievements:

  1. I’ve worked part-time at XXX where I was in charge of performing financial models and writing notes on research companies and industries. I have had deep hands-on experience and passion for electronic payment industry and self-storages REIT sector in the U.S. Based on that knowledge I have conducted a comprehensive research which impacted fund decision to initiated Visa Inc. position. Additionally I’ve learned how to analyze a sundry of companies in different stages by using different valuation techniques with unit economics, key revenue drivers analysis and further present this research to fund senior analysts.
  2. I’ve interned at XXX audit department where I was performing AP, AR, revenue and cash sections lead-sheets for companies in 2 industries: oil and electric power. I’ve learned RAS and IFRS in practice applied to different companies and their subsidiaries. I’ve participated in performing pro forma financial statements for a company after its restructuring.
  3. During my time at XXX I was focused on corporate finance and financial modeling (covered DCF, LBO and M&A models building) with strong emphasis on the technical skills. Besides being proficient in classical financial tools I was focused on finance related statistical methods using R (beta coefficient calculation, statistical regressions, etc.) and @RISK: I ran Monte-Carlo simulations on a DCF financial model to take uncertainty into account.
My time in university was a best time in my life so far, but I feel that I have so much more to learn and grow both personally and professionally. XXX position at your firm would a tremendous personal growth and opportunity to make positive impact for the firm and firms’ clients. I will really appreciate the opportunity to present myself in person.

Yours faithfully,
NAME SURNAME
