SAMPLE COVER LETTER #9: SECOND-YEAR JOINT DEGREE STUDENT
645 Ellsworth Avenue
New Haven, CT 06511
November 1, 2013
Mr. Daniel S. Ehrenberg, Esq.
Deputy General Counsel
Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation
1325 G Street, NW, Suite 800
Washington, DC 20005
Dear Mr. Ehrenberg:
I am a second-year student at Yale Law School and am seeking a position with the Neighborhood Reinvestment
Corporation for the Summer 2014. In addition to pursuing my law degree, I am also enrolled in the MBA program
with the Yale School of Management. I will graduate with both degrees in June 2015.
I am seeking a position for this summer that will enable me to draw from my legal and business abilities and my
background in community development. Your organization is particularly appealing to me because of its goal of
strengthening underserved communities by supporting innovative local partnerships of residents, businesses, and
government.
As CEO and co-founder of Urban Solutions, I had the opportunity to assist residents in underserved communities
by securing contracts with government agencies to renovate housing, organizing student volunteers to provide
landscaping and supporting residents in their efforts to better their communities. As a summer intern with two law
firms, I assisted with researching and writing legal documents on a variety of matters, including drafting bylaws
and articles of incorporation for a number of small companies and nonprofit organizations.
I believe that my interests and skills are well-suited to the work of your office. I would welcome the opportunity
to discuss a summer internship position with you further. For your information, if your organization does not have
funding for summer interns, Yale will fund my employment.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Stanley Student
