To Whom It May Concern:

I recently checked your website and saw you will be offering general analyst internships this summer. I believe I would be a good addition to your bank for two reasons: a deep math background and relevant working experiences.

My deep math background allows me to more readily engage in economic research. For instance, I have applied calculus to more deeply understand the properties of many statistics distributions, hypothesis tests, interval estimations, and mathematical proofs in various statistics courses. Furthermore, after completed Applied Statistics Modeling, I am also proficient in using two statistical software packages – SAS and R – to fit appropriate regression models to a set of data, perform various diagnostics on the data and fitted model, interpret the fitted model and write a report on my analysis.

Aside from math, relevant working experience has imparted in three of my essential skills needed for this internship: communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills. Specifically, I have developed effective communication skills by tutoring many freshmen and sophomores at the University of **** on various subjects: principles of macro and micro economics, introduction to probability I and II, and introduction to statistics since June 2009.  Since January 2010, I also have been enhancing my leadership and interpersonal skills by helping transfer students make a smooth and successful transition to the University of **** by serving as a peer mentor and a liaison between the transfer students and the Admissions Office.

In short, the above three skills I have possessed and am enhancing will allow me to succeed as a general analyst in your bank. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely yours,
