Re: Application for Accounting Internship
Dear Brother McCarty:
I am writing to request a reference letter. I am applying for an accounting internship for this summer in
Texas with a company called Cosmo. Since you are my on-campus internship class professor as well as
career consultant, I am writing to ask whether it would be possible for you to write a reference letter for
me. As I reviewed the qualifications of this internship, I hope, as you write you would stress the
following aspects: (a) accounting skills, (b) reliability and dedication to work.
Accounting Skills. I have taken two of the four pre-requisites for the accounting major at Brigham
Young University, and I am taking the other two currently. The classes have given me a taste of the
accounting world. With regard to those I classes, have learned how to do financial analysis with balance
sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. Also, after I have taken these courses, I can view
things in a more analytical way now.
Reliability and Dedication to Work. During your class this semester, as a member of a teamwork
internship, I am quite dedicated to this work, and I have done every research project on time and brought
some new ideas to the group. All my other teammates have evaluated me as reliable and having good
work ethics. I spend as many hours as I need to get my work and research done. Also, I organize every
research I have done and format them into a spreadsheet that is easy for others to read. Reliability and
dedication to work are definitely two of my strengths.
I really appreciated your time and willingness in this process. Please return the letter to me in the selfaddressed, stamped enveloped by March 25, 2011. Again, thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Xiaojun Shu
