Hello,
I’m writing to inquire about an internship opportunity for the winter break. I am very interested in working with your company and would be more than happy to meet with you to discuss how I could contribute.
I have been a student at [school name] for three years and am looking forward to graduating in 2020. In my time at [school name], I have taken classes in business administration and marketing. These courses have provided me with a solid foundation in the principles of business, allowing me to become familiar with how companies operate and how they can succeed.
Additionally, managing my own small business has given me valuable experience in the field of entrepreneurship. As part of this project, I have developed a strong sense of what it takes to run a business successfully by developing marketing strategies, managing cash flow responsibly, and ensuring that products are always available when customers want them. This knowledge has helped me develop excellent communication skills as well as an understanding of how companies should run themselves so that they stay profitable while still being able to offer their products at affordable prices for consumers who need them most (which is something that is important when trying to start up your own company). These skills will be very useful in any industry where there is competition between businesses or between different departments within one company
