Project Research

To whomever it may concern,

After coming across your posting, I read that your company offers a superior internship in the field of

public policy. This internship is of interest to me because I believe that I possess the education needed to

successfully be involved in your organization.

I have received a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and a Minor in Business Administration from the

University of California in Riverside. I have dedicated myself as a full time student and have been

involved in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars as well as the Golden Key International Honors

Society. During my Junior undergraduate year I have received both the Dean's list and Chancellor's list

honors awards to which I am upholding throughout my Senior year.

I have successfully presented a research project studying the social and environmental effects of cancer

while holding the position of a research intern in the Mentoring Summer Research Internship Program

during Summer 2010 at UC Riverside. I was conducting research on this topic during Spring 2010 which

greatly strengthened my understanding of the subject. My academic motivation is an indicator that I am

ready to be fully involved in this internship. Furthermore, I am skilled in Microsoft Office applications

such as Word, Power Point, Database, and Excel. Familiarity with these programs has aided my ability to

communicate effectively.

I would like the opportunity to set up an interview with you at your convenience. Should you have

questions, please feel free to email me at abhf75@r.postjobfree.com or call me at 925-***-**** anytime after 4

p.m. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Matthew William Baker
