Dear Mr. Smith:

I am applying for the Marketing/Communications Intern position posted on the University of Washington’s Handshake internship database. As shown in the enclosed resume, I have a strong academic background in communications and journalism and expect to graduate in May 2020.

My current work as a student intern in UW’s communication office has given me firsthand experience in the challenges associated with the development and implementation of a successful marketing/advertising campaign. In addition, I have excellent creative writing and communication skills, as demonstrated by my successful experience as assistant editor for the bi-weekly student newspaper. This background has given me a unique perspective that would be particularly valuable in meeting the responsibilities of this position, as described in your call for applications. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my qualifications in more detail and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Sally A. Student
