Dear Ms. Name Surname,

I am writing in response to the posting on jobsearchweb.com for an information systems/technology internship

at X Company. Please see my attached resume to learn more about the Professional fit.
My experience and personality closely fit the posted job description, and I am very excited to apply. As a
Computer Information Systems student at Kaunas College, I have taken advantage of numerous research and
design opportunities on campus and in class, which may be useful when working at X Company. During my
web design class, I volunteered to organize a group that would design and create a web site using Flash
technology for a local company. The project was well-received and the organization is using some of our ideas.
As a student worker in the Counseling Center, I also designed an Access database to track student counseling
appointments and progress. The position required a high degree of confidentiality as well as a person with the
ability to work on the project until it was completed.
I have also participated in various campus activities and leadership programs. By working on committees, I was
able to demonstrate my leadership, teamwork, and time management skills.
I am eager to learn more about the internship position and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my
qualification more in detail during an interview. I can be reached at +370 XXX XXXXX
I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Name Surname
