This is good -- it's a typical cover letter.

However, I would advise you to do what I did to make it more interesting to read:

  1. Start off the first paragraph with "As a student concentrating in (your major here), I am particularly drawn to (list 3 things that are important to investment banking). Then talk about your professional goals and how you want to enhance them with an internship in IB. Last sentence of first paragraph should state that you are interested in an internship with their firm, etc.

  2. In your second paragraph, talk about your prior experiences and how they relate/can help the firm. Also, mention how you fit well with the culture.

  3. Third paragraph, talk about your coursework and how it applies to the internship. Mention that you can tailor your coursework per their suggestions.

The closing/ thank you sentences you have are fine. Remember, short, sweet, & to-the-point.

Good luck, MKballer
