Mr. Kendall Smith

All for Democracy Organization

1 Columbia Avenue

North Charleston, SC 55565

Dear Mr. Smith:

I am writing to express my interest in a summer internship with All for Democracy Organization.

Currently, I am a sophomore at College of Charleston double majoring in Political Science and

Business Administration. I would very much appreciate an opportunity to further my skills and

knowledge in the non-profit sector. All for Democracy Organization has an excellent

reputation for its work in promoting the voting process, and I am confident that my academic

background, combined with my personal experience, will be beneficial to your work

environment.

As a member of the Student Government Association (SGA) at the College of Charleston, I

gained valuable experience working with people from diverse backgrounds. The SGA has also

given me the opportunity to work in a political body on a small scale, learning the different

processes in a government setting. These experiences will undoubtedly help me work well with

your organization in promoting the voting process. In addition, my involvement with many

extracurricular groups while maintaining high grades, has provided me with the confidence that I

can handle multiple responsibilities and successfully meet deadlines.

My background and experience, combined with my eagerness to learn more about the non-

profit sector, make me well-suited for an internship with your organization. I would greatly

appreciate the opportunity to meet you in person to discuss internship opportunities. Please

feel free to call me at 555.555.1234 or email me at .

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Dawn Donaldson
