Dear Mr. Smith,

I am very interested in an internship with David Wells, Inc., and have enclosed my resume for your review and consideration. Having interned several summers for financial organizations and worked for my father (John G. Garson), a representative and role model at David Wells, Inc., in Green River, I am no stranger to the arena. Plus, this firsthand
observation of the financial industry has solidified my choice of careers, making me a sincere candidate for this internship.

I am concurrently working on a master of science in family financial planning while completing coursework for a bachelor of business administration in finance from Superior University. My goal is to earn a master’s degree so that I may sit for the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) exam in the spring of 2008.

Through exposure to the daily business operations of my father’s David Wells office, I have learned

• That David Wells is paramount in providing individuals with the investments, services, and information they need to achieve their financial goals.
• That meeting customer needs in a professional manner through personal contact is primary to success in the financial industry, and supports your efforts to keep contacts face-to-face as opposed to utilizing impersonal Internet services.
• That David Wells rewards representatives who are self-motivated, profit-oriented achievers, decisive, and able to implement actions to benefit both the organization and its clients.

I am confident that I will be able to surpass expectations and make substantial contributions to your organization, and I hope to begin my career as a member of a team such as that at David Wells.

A drive to succeed, combined with my knowledge and previous experience, makes me a strong candidate for an internship at David Wells, Inc. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you desire additional information. I will be available for this internship from mid-May through mid-August of this year. I would welcome an interview at your convenience to
further discuss my qualifications and prospects for serving your company.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
