Dear First Name Last Name or Hiring Manager:

I was thrilled to learn of your Newsroom Internship Program on the Washington Post website. As an
aspiring reporter with a focus on social justice, I appreciate not only the high quality of your reporting, but
also your organization’s focus on giving back to the D.C. community at large. I am confident that my
research experience, strong writing ability, and creativity will allow me to thrive in the internship program
at the Post this summer.

As a legal intern for the Orange County State’s Attorney, I used a variety of databases to conduct and
organize legal research for our staff. My ability to sift through and condense large amounts of data in a
fast-paced environment will be an asset to your office. I also developed particularly strong writing skills
during my time at the University of Central Florida, having written several policy analyses papers for my
government courses. Outside the classroom, my position as writer and editor for KnightsNews.com has
allowed me to contribute weekly articles and help other staff members with their pieces. I am eager to
employ my research and writing skills in a professional newsroom and believe that my experience
producing informative pieces and meeting deadlines will serve your office well.

My experience working as a server at the Applebee’s allowed me to enhance my creative problem-solving


skills. In my role as a server, I developed a system to manage reservations, which was adopted to reduce
customer wait time during peak hours. I also honed creative communication skills by balancing customer
requests with availability of resources. I am confident I can apply my creativity to identify local stories of
interest and assist your staff with information requests.

Please find my resume attached, which details my qualifications for the position. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I look forward to discussing my qualifications with
you personally. Thank you for your time and consideration.

With best regards,

Your Signature
