Dear Madam/Sir,

I am currently looking for an internship in the financial sector for a period of four or six months starting as soon as possible. I saw your traineeship offer for a “Finance Analyst” on the Internet. I think I have all the qualities that you require for this job.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Finance from *******, in which I also had financial analysis and accounting as a part of my curriculum. I joined ******* in September in ***** and I am learning corporate finance and marketing. I chose this school because of its reputation in finance.

This educational background is preparing me for a career in the financial sector. I have had an interest in finance for nine years and especially, in financial analysis. Through different projects, I was in charge of analysing the financial structure. For example, during my last business project, I was responsible for reporting and analysing all the cash flows. Then, I identified and communicated issues and areas for improvement to my teammates and made recommendations which processes should be improved or optimized.

During my Bachelor’s degree, I did an internship at ****** which is an accounting firm. I was in charge of computing invoices on ******* software and performed banking reconciliations.

I achieved all these projects because I communicated a lot with my teammates or other departments in the company. I also developed my eye for details through my different projects. For example, I needed to be careful of my typing because if I had made a mistake, I would have to start again. I also showed my organized and structured mind in order to deal with large quantities of work and strict deadlines with the objective to assimilate them.

It is a great opportunity to apply for the “Finance Analyst” position because your Company fascinates me. ***** is always in expansion thanks to its diversification and its acquisitions. ***** is known for its online store but is also specialised in the cloud storage or in digital media player. In order to diversify its risks, ***** spent $690 million on acquisitions in 2015. According to the Daily Mail, ***** would acquire ***** in order to break into the online grocery delivery service in the United Kingdom. Thanks to its diversification and its acquisitions, ***** had revenues for the full year 2015 of 107.006bn. This was 20.25% above the prior year's results. Financial analysts forecast a growing of 20% in 2016 compare to 2015.

I look forward to meeting you. Thank you for taking the time to consider this application and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration.
