Subject: Summer Internship Inquiry — Marketing Student
Dear Ms. Rivera,
My name is Anna Petrova, and I am a third-year marketing student at Westfield University. At a career fair last month, I learned about Brightpath Media's summer internship program from one of your representatives.
I am particularly interested in Brightpath because of your recent campaign for an environmental nonprofit. Your team's use of short video stories to encourage recycling was creative and effective — exactly the kind of meaningful marketing work I hope to do. I manage social media accounts for two student organizations, and I believe an internship with your team would be a valuable next step.
Could you please tell me how I can apply for the summer internship? I would also like to know the application deadline and whether you require a portfolio in addition to a resume and cover letter.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Anna Petrova
