Dear Ms. Guest:
I am writing to you in regard to the Accounting Internship currently posted on the Texas A&M
University-Kingsville Career Services site. I am very excited about the prospect of bringing my skills
and professionalism to work with an energy company like Valero which has made a clear investment
in not only effective, traditional energy sources but also new and innovative alternative sources.
Valero is on the leading edge of the energy industry and I am excited about the prospect of
contributing to your organization.
I am a Sophomore at Texas A&M University – Kingsville currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science
degree in Accounting and have earned a 3.4 GPA. I have been working part-time during my studies
with a retail store where I have communicated with and served our customers with both speed and
friendliness. I am also experienced with working in teams both at work and at school where I have
frequently led project groups.
I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you in person about this opportunity and how I can
contribute to the continued success of your company. I will follow up with you by phone on Tuesday,
April 6. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
(Your handwritten signature on hard copy – if sending via email simply copy from “Dear Ms. Guest”
