Dear Ms. Robertson:
As a Marist College communications student in my junior year, I am seeking an internship in the
Central New Jersey region in corporate communications. I noticed that your company is listed
as offering internships in communications in The National Directory of Internships.
Currently, I am features writer for the Marist College newspaper; I've also written press releases
for the college's theatre department. My experience in writing, as well as my desire to pursue a
career combining business and writing, have convinced me that corporate communications is an
option I would like to explore.
More importantly, an internship with Allied Signal would be mutually beneficial. I know that the
combination of my experience, education, and motivation to excel will make me an asset for any
department where you place me.
I believe it would be worthwhile for us to meet. I will contact you within a week to arrange a
meeting. Should you have any questions before that time, you may reach me during business
hours at the number listed on the enclosed resume.
Sincerely,
Candace Carlisle
