Dear Ms. Brodbank:
I wish to be considered for the position of Investment Management Summer Analyst at UBS. After
speaking with several alumni and contacts working at UBS and elsewhere in the banking field, and
considering my educational experience in economics, I strongly believe that I have the skills and
motivation necessary to succeed in this field. My desire to do so with a prestigious financial firm,
combined with my ability to make the most of every opportunity presented to me, make me a solid
candidate for an internship position with UBS this summer.
My coursework at Hamilton College, in both psychology and economics, has strengthened my ability to
think critically, analyze information thoroughly, and to “think outside the box”. Relevant experience
includes my use of Excel and statistics to track quantitative data, knowledge of macroeconomics and
capital markets, along with the ability to express my analysis and conclusions effectively in writing and in
oral presentations using PowerPoint. Moreover, my involvement as a member of Hamilton College’s
women’s ice hockey team, along with experiences on previous sports teams, has enabled me to develop
and refine strong interpersonal skills, communicating clearly and cooperatively in one-on-one situations
as well as with large groups of individuals.
In addition, as an assistant manager and multi-year employee at Animal City, I demonstrated
responsibility and leadership skills, and developed the ability to provide accurate information to a wide
variety of vendors and customers. The resulting increase in sales and continuous return of satisfied
customers who appreciated my service was well noted by the store owners. These relevant skills,
combined with my diligent work ethic and sense of integrity in all my endeavors, will enable me to
actively participate with and be an asset to the UBS team this summer.
I have enclosed my resume and would be pleased to provide references upon request. I look forward to
discussing with you the contribution I can make to UBS as an intern, and am available to interview at
your convenience. If you have any questions, you can reach me at (806) 308-2245 or via email at
tbristol@hamilton.edu.
I thank you in advance for your consideration of me for this opportunity.
Sincerely yours,
Terry Bristol
