Dear Mr. Jones:
Please accept this letter of application for Eli Lilly’s Internship Program, which I learned about
through Bucknell University’s online internship listings. I am writing to tell you of my sincere
interest in interning at Eli Lilly this summer.
As you can see on the enclosed resume, I am pursuing a degree in business administration with a
concentration in finance. Upon graduation, I hope to enter a career in pharmaceutical sales and
feel that interning at Eli Lilly will provide the hands-on experience I seek. Your company’s
growth throughout the last few years greatly impresses me, and your philosophy of encouraging
interns’ professional development is something I value. I am confident that my excellent
communication skills, drive to succeed, and high level of enthusiasm will make me an asset in
your sales division. For example, in my position as a Student Caller for Bucknell University this
past year, I was instrumental in helping the university secure a $10,000 gift, an amount that
significantly surpasses the goals for the student calling program.
I would appreciate being considered for a position within your internship program. I am
available for an interview at your convenience and can be reached at my home in Pittsburgh at
(777) 555-5555 throughout the holidays, before returning to Bucknell on January 17th. I will
contact you during the week of January 9th to arrange a time to speak with you. Thank you for
your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Molly Brown
