Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is RKG and I am currently entering fourth year in University of Waterloo pursuing Bachelors in Mathematics, Financial Analysis Risk Management. I was introduced to CPP via various presentations held by your firm at my school in the past. I was impressed with the magnitude of responsibilities assigned to analysts and the working culture. I am interested in joining your firm as a rotational analyst, and have enclosed my resume and background information within this application.

I have previously completed internships at ING Investment Management as a Quantitative Analyst. Through this experience I got the opportunity to learn immensely about Capital Markets. I also had the opportunity to work on developing a new stochastic interest rate calibrator, which was used in critical Economic Scenario Generations for Asset Liability Management purposes.

Given my background in Capital Markets and my quantitative skillset, I am a particularly good fit for the [Position Name] position at your firm and I look forward to joining and contributing to your firm.

A copy of my resume is enclosed for your reference. I would welcome an opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you at your earliest convenience. I can be reached at 647-999-9999 or via email at [email protected]. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
rkg
