Hi all,

I am applying for an intern position at HSBC. Below is my cover letter. I would appreciate if you guys can help give out comments so that I can improve

Thanks a lot in advance.

"With a long-term passion for working in the banking industry and embarking on the new challenges, the opportunity to work as an intern at HSBC would certainly open up a challenging yet exciting pathway for my future careers. The prospect of immersing in the banking business with HSBC, one of the leading banking groups in its industry, fits my vision of my future careers just perfectly, and I believe that I possess the qualities you look for in an intern. Moreover, it is widely acknowledged that HSBC is strongly built on the pillars of talented people of common vision, and it feels even more than blissful and rewarding for me to be able to work with them towards generating new ideas and business solutions in order that the ultimate mission is accomplished: success. Additionally I would be able to learning precious insights and professionalism from them while trying my best to contribute my share of value to better enhance the performance of the entire team.

Majoring in Information Systems and Finance has equipped me with abilities both on the technical side for the design and deployment of business information systems and on the business side of analyzing the values, the costs and the risks of implementing the business solutions and their alternatives. It is not just about doubling the edge, but the harmonious synergy of IT and Business, especially in the context of banking industry where such synergy proves itself to be extremely important and productive. Thanks to the heavy workload plus the CCAs in XXX University, I have learned to manage my time effectively, which in turn allows me to handle multi-tasks simultaneously while still committing to quality of the work. I really enjoy the fast-paced and challenging working environment since only at that moment I can get the most out of myself, which has been proven by my rigorous university life so far. Furthermore, as an university event associate, I have been able to sharpen my problem-solving, communication and interpersonal skills significantly.

I believe that all the above-mentioned factors will help me adapt to the future experience in HSBC better. I will not only give out my very best but also keep myself open to learning and experiencing new challenges. I am a supporter of lifelong learning, and HSBC has proved itself to be the best place for next phase of learning.

Enclosed with this letter is my updated resume. It shall be my pleasure to provide you with any additional information should you require. I am easily contactable at XXX and XXX. I really appreciate an interview opportunity with HSBC Vietnam. I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future. Thank you for taking time to consider my application."

I would like to help with any feedback but I don't think you could have written it better. Great job!
My only insight would be just an opinion: Change the above-mentioned factors to the factors mentioned above? but that is just me. Good luck and hope you get the position!

The general association of a Cover Letter is with a Resume. However, you can use a Cover letter for a number of business reasons as well. You could be writing a Loan Cover letter or a Cover letter while getting into a contract.

Such a cover letter would serve the purpose of getting your reader's attention and focus on the main points in the material that you are attaching.

The cover letter in effect could be a summary of the documents you have included. It can also include suggested action the reader may take regarding the matter on hand.
