Could you please tell me if this cover letter is correct ? :)

Dear Sir or Madam,

I saw with great interest on the website www.volkswage-karriere.de that your company offers internships. Therefore, I am writing to apply for an internship at your company for a 6-months period, starting if possible in August/September 2014. I would be particularly interested in the sector of Controlling/Finance. I believe that my background, training, work experience and education has prepared me for this job.

Currently, I am a student in the 4 th semester of international business administration and foreign trade at Worms University of Applied Sciences. My course provided a thorough grounding in management principles as well as accounting and foreign languages. I have gained a lot of experience in financial accounting, cost and activity accounting and I also have very good knowledge in MS Office. In addition to that, I am a very conscientious and diligent worker. My organizational skills would be an asset to your company. As you can see from my Curriculum Vitae, my English is fluent and I also have good knowledge in other foreign languages.

During my three-year training period at Trigema, a clothing manufacturer, I was able to familiarize myself with the various departments of the company. This experience convinced me that I would like to pursue a full-time career in controlling or finance, after graduating from university.

I am enclosing my curriculum vitae as well as my overview of marks and I would be happy to provide references upon request.

I look forward to hearing from you

Sincerely,



Daniel Eigner
