Head Of Faculty - Science Dept.

Toonville, MS 54321

Dear Mr. Galagher:

I am interested in the administrative internship position in the science department at Science College. I have a great deal of lab and field experience in biology, geology and chemistry. I also have some experience in the environment with a field studies focus, and I have conducted many experiments with the goal of assessing water chemistry in a variety of locations.

Previously, I worked as an assistant in the conservation department of Yodel National Park. My goal is to complement this work with the administrative internship position you are offering so I can complete the background I need to pursue a career in scientific research. Being an administrative intern will give me a wonderful opportunity to assist your department, and also expand my current skill set.

I will give you a call next week to see if you feel my qualifications are a good fit for the position. Hopefully, we can schedule an on-site interview based on your schedule at that time.

I look forward to speaking with you and thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

(signature)
