Alan Green, CEO Quiksilver Inc. 15202 Graham Street Huntington Beach, CA 92649

Dear Mr. Green:

I am writing in response to your advertisement in your online posting for summer internships. After reviewing the available description, I feel confident that the skills that I have learned through obtaining a bachelors degree in Business Administration, and my extensive experience with the action sports market, can be applied appropriately and effectively under the provided requirements.

I would efficiently bring your company a broad range of skills that would provide myself with a competitive advantage over other qualified applicants. The most important abilities that I posses are: a strong interpersonal talent, great computer skills (Photoshop, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Acrobat), solid critical thinking, speaking, and listening abilities. The ability to speak effectively between personal and occupational relationships, while being able to critically evaluate a projects direction, would provide me with the tools to become a great team player. With these qualifications, and my knowledge of action sports, I strongly believe that I would be able to properly assimilate into Quiksilver’s professional culture.

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to further discuss the available internship position. If you have questions or would like to schedule an interview, please contact me by phone at (760) 555-9777 or by e-mail at Mikewaters08@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,

Mr. Waters
