(Sample of Cover Letter)
Dear Mr. Marinichenko:
Mark Diamond
4701 Pine Street, #K-13
Philadelphia, PA 19143
Tel. l-(215)-748-3037
April 2, 1992
I am a first-year student in the M.B.A. program at the Wharton Business School in Philadelphia.
I understand that you are heading the independent Ukrainian airline. I have heard from my friend Mr. Bill Eastmann, a student at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, that you might wish to have an American M.B.A. student work with your airline this summer as an intern. I am very interested in the possibility of such an internship during the summer of 1992.
My professional experience has given me an in-depth knowledge of the air transportation industry. I have, in particular, worked for American Airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration, and Kurth & Company, Inc., an aviation consulting firm where I was Manager of Airline Analysis. My responsibilities included the study of schedules, fares, equipment selection, and financial results. Notably, I prepared numerous feasibility studies for both jet and turboprop routes, including passenger and pure cargo service, for proposed transatlantic and transpacific services.
I wish to place this experience at the disposal of your airline. I believe strongly that my knowledge of the deregulated air transportation industry in the United States could be quite beneficial to your carrier.
I have enclosed a copy of my resume. If my background and qualifications are of interest to you, please telephone me at (215) 748-3037. I would be interested in meeting with you in mid-April in New York to discuss further the possibility of such a summer position, and your requirements.
Sincerely,
