Dear Mr. Kikuyu:
I am writing to apply to the Senior Analyst/Entry Level Associate at the suggestion of your colleague Sara Ca-
ruso. After a recent meeting with Ms. Caruso and learning more about Acme Finance and the position, I be-
lieve my educational background in finance coupled with my prior experience and strong interest in invest-
ment banking make me an ideal candidate for this position. Please accept this as my application.
During my education at Northeastern University, I learned about the intricacies of the market including op-
tions, dividends, bond valuation, and mutual funds. I am particularly interested in technology and healthcare
and recently received high praise for my presentation detailing the benefits of investing in healthcare tech-
nology. Additionally, my membership in the Northeastern Finance and Investments Club for the past year
enhanced my financial background. I also have practical experience through my cooperative education jobs
at State Street Corporation and Gillette, where I built upon my already strong communication skills by work-
ing directly with customers and gained valuable first-hand experience in the financial industry. Also,
throughout college, I worked every January through April at H&R Block completing taxes. This experience
gave me invaluable insight and accounting experience. I am confident I could use my finance and client ser-
vice skills to succeed as the new Senior Analyst/Entry Level Associate at Acme Finance.
Acme Finance’s online brokerage department particularly interests me. Your innovative approach to allowing
customers access to research and real-time movement has intrigued me throughout my participation in the
Finance and Investment Club. I believe that my experience developing online banking systems, as well as my
personal use of your online brokerage system, will help me become a valuable team member in your organi-
zation.
I am confident that my skills and experience qualify me as a strong candidate for the Senior Analyst/Entry
Level Associate at Acme Finance. I am eager to discuss my candidacy further with you and would welcome
the opportunity to interview with you. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to your
response.
Sincerely,
Will B. Abanker
