Letter of Motivation - Some Help needed.

Hello everybody,
I am applying for a very interesting internship and have to write a letter of motivation. I have posted the letter underneath. It would be just great if someone who knows a lot about this type of letter could read it and give me some good advice.

The letter is - together with a CV - send via E-mail to a student organisation in the Dominican Republic. A representative of this organization will introduce my application to the company. This is common practice in the organisation and ok with the company.
I do have three questions:
For this particular case, do I need to put adresses on top of the letter?
Do I put "enclosures" on the letter?
May I put the heading "Letter of Motivation" on top?

There you have the letter:
Letter of Motivation


Dear Mr. <<name>>:

If you are looking for a young and energetic person who is seeking new challenges and is willing to contribute to your company’s success, I would like to encourage you to consider my application.
I am a 23 year old, highly motivated student of business administration at Technical University of Chemnitz, Germany. Apart from studying, I spend a lot of time supporting my mother’s corporation which is entering the Chinese market.

After my studies I would like to start in a marketing department or as a project manager. In the long run I am planning to start my own business. In order to get further practical experiences and attaining additional soft skills, I would like to do an internship.

An internship abroad provides a lot of chances: giving a view on solving problems differently, establishing new connections, giving material for new perspectives and ideas, and last but not least it provides the opportunity to identify additional strength and weaknesses. This internship at <<company name>> provides exciting contents. For me, it is even more important that the internship appears to become a potential challenge. Solving a pretentious task offers a high added value for both – the company and the trainee.

Being an optimistic and creative team player with very good presentation skills and a wide range of interests, I am also able to work self-contained. Not only personal strengths in analytical thinking, problem solving and identifying the determining factors of success, but also very good communication skills and a high familiarity with the English and German language make me feel being the right person for this internship. Furthermore, I am now in the 7th semester and have passed all required courses and tests for the final examination. In respect of attained knowledge there should not be a big difference to a university graduate.

Being accepted for this internship, I would intensify the study of the Spanish language in order to attain a good basis. This shall ensure a quick improvement during the first weeks in the with purpose to simplify the communication within your company and beyond. Besides, I could - in advance - review or research a certain topic given by the company to be well prepared for the internship.

I am keen on supporting your company and would like to start as soon as possible. A visa would be granted from the embassy of the within 14 days. If you have some questions, please contact me by phone or e-mail.

ours faithfully,


<<my name>>
