Dear Mrs. Leider,

I first became interested in your company last year, when I was taking an argumentative
writing course that focused mainly on sustainablitly. Since then I have done some research on your
corporation and found that perhaps it would be a good place, with a strong moral background, and
am hoping that I may find a place with your company.
I would like to be considered for your grant writing internship. I have a strong background in
customer service, and feel that this experience would transfer over well when trying to appeal to
possible donors. Adding this to my background in writing I feel I can provide supportive services to
Siemens clean energy services. I am also proficient in several donor management databases,
having experience from previous collaborations with the American cancer society and Kiwanis club.
As one of its lead members, I was expected to communicate with both of these organizations and
then record if they were willing to support the key clubs cause for the following year.
While I do not have traditional training in grant writing, I have worked with several
organizations that have given me a strong foundation in this style of writing. With this previous
experience I should be able to perform the duties that you require of me. Otherwise, I am a quick
learner and am able to adapt quickly to new situations.
I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this. I am sure you are busy, and
appreciate your consideration. I hope you have a nice day.

Sincerely,

Ashley McNeill
