Dear Making of a Mogul,

I am interested in obtaining public relations internship with your

company. I am very proficient in research, writing, media relations as well

as special events. I was an active member of the Public Relations Student

Society of America at Central Michigan University, a public relations team

member of CMU's newspaper, CM Life and a writer for CMU's chapter for Her

Campus, an online community for college women.

At Central Michigan University I have gained valuable knowledge and

experience through my coursework and registered student organizations. I

have taken courses in public relations writing, case studies in public

relations and public relations principles and practices among many others

that are sure to prepare me for the various requirements of this position.

I am social media savvy and comfortable with working in a fast paced

environment. I also have a strong interest in the fashion industry. I am

ready to build my knowledge about the industry and hopefully become a

valuable team member.

As a fast learner and hard worker, I strive to exceed company expectations

while ensuring that deadlines are always met. I am positive that my

outstanding communication, technological skills and personality are a

perfect match for what you are seeking. I am eager to gain valuable work

experience and to utilize my analytical and writing skills. My proficient

organization and reliability can certainly be a beneficial asset to your

company. I currently live in Michigan but I will gladly travel for

interviews and will quickly relocate if considered.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I would appreciate the

opportunity to discuss this position with you. I can be reached at (248)

755-1544 or via email at abgmdk@r.postjobfree.com. I look forward to speaking

with you.

Sincerely,

Ashley Simmons
