Please Destroy my CV: International Student looking for IBD internship in BBs London

HI please give me your opinion on my CV, I am trying to break into IBD London through the normal structured internship programs, off-cycle internships or anything really. I am applying to associate but would not mind starting as Analyst (again!). I have two and a half years of experience.

I went for a big four CF because it was the most important in my country. Thankfully I could play some important roles given my experience. Any recommendation for the COVER LETTERS! and on how to break in?

( Just to share: Im doing a Masters in Finance post experience in LBS it is like an MBA from LBS or INSEAD, all three programs plus Ivy leagues place their students in IBD London; If you think different feel free to share)

Others can comment on content since I have not worked in IB. I will say, I don't like the format - too many words, too close together, the type is too hard to read. As a reviewer I would probably put the resume down and move on since that speaks volumes about what your deliverables look like despite years of work experience. I'd upgrade to the WSO template if I was you.
