Dear all,

I would be very thankful is someone can revise this covering letter. Any criticism, not only regarding spelling and grammar mistakes, but also style will be welcome (please, do it!!!). Many thanks in advance !!!

Dear Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones,



Having received recently a Master’s Degree in European Studies from the University of Louvain (Belgium), my next goal is to gain a first-hand experience in public affairs. This internship at Parliament Direct provides me with such an opportunity. My CV is attached in application for this position.



My background is focused on politics and international relations, with a specialisation in European affairs. Keen to use my skills, I can offer your public affairs agency :

• Strong political research and analytical abilities, acquired through the writing of my master’s thesis.
• Fluency in English, Spanish and French and basic knowledge of Russian.
• Experience in contacting MEPs, as well as European Commission and Council’s officials.
• Good written English skills, including drafting of reports and academic articles.
• Experience in organisation of social and academic events from my involvement in several societies whilst at university.

Furthermore, as a young postgraduate I can bring enthusiasm, critical thinking, professionalism and flexibility.



I am looking forward to discuss how the above skills and knowledge can be used to the advantage of Parliament Direct. I appreciate your time and consideration.



Sincerely,

Achinoam Cohen
