Covering letter for internship

Dear Sir or Madam

I would like to apply for IAESTE internship position in your company within the months of July and August 2014. I am a fourth semester student of Mechanical engineering following the construction program at the Danish Technical University (DTU) in Copenhagen.

At the Danish Technical University, I gained a strong theoretical background. Now, I want to complement that knowledge with pragmatic experience. Ideally, I would like to work on designing products (e.g. machinery, consumer products etc.) and preparing technical documentation, although I am certainly open to other experiences. Furthermore, I want to expand my knowledge on how companies function.

At present, I am working in a company that produce mirrors for shops, roads and the industry in general. I have been in charge of designing and developing a new and cheaper series of mirrors and backgrounds for the eastern European market. This involved developing expensive vacuum forms, technical drawing of the forms and ordering them from Asia. Furthermore, I have created technical drawing documentation of current products and been developing pneumatic constructions for shaping the mirrors and backgrounds.

With an internship, I would like to make new contacts, discover new cultures, get some practical experience, and use the things I have been learning at the university.

In my spare time, I am an active person, going to the gym and playing soccer. My social skills and ability to work as a team is getting stimulated and through the sports. As the captain of the soccer team, I am used to the responsibility to make a decision even if some of my teammates disagree.
I have been living for 6 months in Austria working in a ski resort. This experience has developed my social skills as well as my understanding of different cultures and has improved my linguistic proficiency in both German, Swedish and English.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon and would like to thank you for reading the letter.

Yours faithfully
