Dear Mr. Doe:

I am writing to express my interest in the journalism internship position that was advertised at

Having a strong journalism background and with plans to live in the D.C. area this summer, I am very interested in

learning more about the opportunity at The Washington Post.

Through college coursework and work experiences in the U.S. and Germany, I have gained over three years of journalism

and writing experience. My positions with The Boston Globe and Germany-based Thüringer Allgemeine involved

extensive editing, research in the community, connecting with over 40 local organizations, and often meeting very short

daily deadlines. In my current work with Beloit College’s student managed weekly newspaper, I coordinate layout and

design for four to six pages, and conduct feature writing and reporting. My most recent features have included a full-

page story on the College’s three all-conference football honorees, and a three-article series sharing how the history of

golf at the College has connected with the development of golf courses in the local community. The quality and variety

of my experiences have prepared me for future journalism opportunities such as the internship with your organization.

Attached you will find my resume for you to review my qualifications further. Please let me know if you have any

difficulties opening the attachment. I would be happy to provide writing samples upon request. To follow up with you, I

will call the week of October 13, 2008 and confirm that you have received my resume and make arrangements to meet

with you while I am in Washington D.C. in November. You may also contact me at this email or the phone number listed

below if you would like to talk with me about my application or the internship position before then.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to talking with you soon.

Sincerely,

No need for more than a double-space between your closing line and
