Tip: To have the best chance of success, you have to write a


unique internship proposal letter for every prospective
employer; although you may likely use much of the same content.

one page. It should be clear, focused, and never longer than
absolutely necessary.

name and contact information from your
rsum. This way, both documents look
like a matching set.

Tip: Make sure your letter does not


include any spelling or grammar
errors. Proof-read your letter very
carefully.

Always use the hiring persons NAME if possible, as this makes the most favourable
impression. If you dont know the name of the contact person, use either their job title, as
in Dear Director of Finance. If you have no identifying information, then write Dear Sir
or Madam. Titles: Use Mr. for a man and Ms. for a woman. Only use Mrs. If you
are certain the person uses this title; if you are unsure, use Ms. If you are unsure if the
