To whom it may concern，

Please accept my application for the internship (实习) you posted through ABC College's Career Services Office. I would love the opportunity to work as an editorial assistant for your company. After reading the job description, I believe I am a well­qualified candidate for the position.

You state that you are looking for someone with strong writing skills for publishing press releases and other informational materials. As an English major, a writing tutor, and an editor of my school paper, I have considerable experience in both writing and editing and have built up a highly relevant skill set. And my attention to detail and commitment to a future career in the publishing business will make me an excellent editorial assistant.

I meet your requirements that applicants should be both academically successful and resourceful. I am a double major with a 3.99 GPA (平均学分绩点). I have demonstrated resourcefulness while working for Sarasota Reads, a program that involves discussing literature with children. For example, I have come up with numerous creative ways to engage them in the novels that we read together.

I am confident that my writing skills, academic record, resourceful nature, and office experience make me a qualified candidate for an internship with your company. I have attached my resume (简历), along with a recommendation from Jim Greenspan, my supervisor (导师) at the Career Services Office. I would appreciate an interview opportunity to discuss a potential position with you further. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely，

Annie
