Summer Internship Letter Sample

Dear Mr. Black,

When I learned about your firm’s summer internship program while studying at the Berkeley School of Law, I knew I wanted to apply. As an aspiring future patent law attorney, I am very familiar with Black & Moore and the excellent work your attorneys do for clients. The reputation of your firm makes an internship with you highly desirable.

I understand that Black & Moore’s summer internship program is highly competitive and I believe I have the desired abilities. My undergraduate degree was in Chemistry and I have the requisite scientific knowledge. Additionally, I am currently in the top 5 percent of my law school class with a 3.9 GPA. I anticipate graduating in May 2016 with top honors.

I am currently a staff editor on Berkeley’s Law Review. As a law review member, I have also had the opportunity to have my own article published. I have honed superior legal research and writing skills using law libraries, Westlaw and LexisNexis.

I have attached three letters of recommendation as well as a copy of my transcript. I would be excited to be invited to interview for Black & Moore’s summer internship program. I can be reached either via email or phone.

Sincerely,

Christopher Steverson
