Dear Ms Benson,
I am writing to apply for the scientific research summer intership position that was listed through the Ittaca University Career Services Office. I believe my research and conservation experience make me an ideal candidate.
I have had a lot of research experience in chemistry and biology, both in the lab and in the field. Most of my experience is in environmental field studies. I am currently studying the water quality in our district.
I know water quality assessment is a component of this internship, and I know my previous experience makes me a valuable candidate for this.
Last summer, I worked as a conservation assistant at the National Trust’s Clumber Park. I conducted analysis of soil samples, and input data from various research projects. I received a special commendation from the director of the research organization for my attention to detail and dedication to research.
I believe that I would be an asset to your program. This internship would give me the ideal opportunity to assist your organization and to improve my skills.
I will call next week to see if you agree that my qualifications seem to be a match for the position. If so, I hope to schedule an interview at a mutually convenient time. I look forward to speaking with you.
Thank you for your consideration,
Yours sincerely,
