Sample Cover Letter For An Internship Job

Alright, so you have seen an advertised intern position in a company that you would like to intern for but you don’t know how to go about it. Don’t even think about sending that CV without a cover letter.
Sending a CV without a Cover Letter is a major blunder that shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Cover letters are meant to leave a good impression and if not perfectly done but rushed, they land in the dustbin.
Here’s a good example of an impeccable internship cover letter.
