Dear Sir/Madam,
As a proud alum of LSE and a current MSc International Finance student at HEC Paris, I am
eager to present myself as a candidate for the 2021Investment Banking Summer Analyst
Programme in London.
J.P Morgan stands out as an exemplary platform for refining my financial acumen under the
tutelage of the industry's elite. The extensive reach of your firm, with its presence in over 40
countries, deeply resonates with my aspiration to harness global perspectives and appreciate
the richness of diverse cultures. Moreover, J.P Morgan’s distinguished reputation, underscored
by its impressive x% advisory market share and an almost $xbn deals volume in the recent
half-year, signifies the unparalleled learning horizon it offers. At this pivotal juncture in my
professional journey, such exposure is invaluable. Additionally, the firm's robust growth
trajectory, evidenced by a x% rise in market share last semester, is truly commendable. I am
particularly impressed by the depth and significance of the transactions J.P Morgan oversees,
especially considering their average size being a staggering x times the industry norm.
My conversation with Mrs. xxxx in London reaffirmed that J.P Morgan’s values and my
personal ethos converge, particularly when it comes to proactive engagement and striving for
excellence. My high school years were punctuated with varied extracurricular endeavours,
from pioneering my own startup to orchestrating events. These ventures honed my teamwork
and leadership aptitudes. Furthermore, my interactions with senior professionals during
University networking sessions reinforced my alignment with J.P Morgan’s vibrant corporate
ethos. They emphasized the firm's commitment to nurturing talent, fostering internal growth,
and empowering newcomers to make a meaningful impact.
Throughout my academic trajectory, I've sought to meld technical proficiency with analytical
rigor, efficient time management, and adept problem-solving. This holistic approach served me
exceptionally well during my recent summer internship, augmenting my capabilities in
modelling, due diligence, and investment assessment. I am convinced that my background in
restructuring and rigorous academic preparation renders me an ideal fit for this internship.
Moreover, I believe my interpersonal skills will seamlessly integrate me into J.P Morgan’s
dynamic team culture.
Sincerely,
xxxx
