Dear Mr. Russel,

I am writing this to apply for the Application Development Internship for Undergraduate College Students which
was advertised in the January Highmark Health Solutions Job list for undergraduate students. I am currently a
sophomore undergraduate student at Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg Campus, pursuing a Bachelor of
Science in Computer Science. I expect to complete this degree by May of 2024. I believe that my project history
and team experiences make me a strong candidate for this internship.

Due to the vast and competitive nature of my degree, I must go beyond the teacher, practicing many out-of-class
programs as well as read textbooks and webpages, to attain a thorough grasp and overcome challenges in my
programming classes, which include the programming languages Python and C++.

Before pursuing this degree, I received an A Grade in the O’ Levels GCSE Computer Science exam by Cambridge
International Examinations, part two of which heavily assessed Python Programming. A Python Programming
prompt was given to the students two weeks before the exam, after which me and a group of classmates worked
together to build and debug the program from scratch and prepared for potential prompts which could come in the
exam such as having to change essential parts of the program. Before receiving the official prompt, I practiced
prompts given in past exams. I believe both team and individual ability matters as a programmer, as through both I
have learned much.

I have included my O’ and A’ Levels exam results as well as hard copies of letters of recommendations from my
Computer Science Professors. I will be available via my given contact information every day before noon, after
which are my class times. I appreciate and thank you for your consideration and look forward towards hearing from
you.

Sincerely,

Hammad Ahmad
