Interview Qualifications

The next is an email I have written with the help of my roommate. But I am hoping for help on wording it better and finishing it. Thanks you in advance.

Ms. Smith:



My name is Ming Zhang and I am a sophomore at the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration at the University of Alabama. I was recently preferenced for the merchandising internship in Pittsburgh, PA. The listing states that applicants should be rising seniors at the time of the internship and I will be a rising junior. However, I am very interested in (Ms. Smiths' company) and while I realize that I am only a rising junior, I believe I have skills that would allow me to contribute to the company. I know that with an interview I would be able to portray my maturity and drive that would make me a great intern. With this having been said, I (something to the affect of wondering if I am still able to be considered?) Thank you for your time.
