To The Head of Admission,

I am responding to the opening of the software engineer intern position at Microsoft in Redmond Washington. Being a computer science student, I am quite familiar with web development, as well as front end and back end code. I am familiar with the programming language python, which will assist me in being a valuable asset to your back end team. I believe due to my qualifications, as well as my knowledge in tech, I would be an excellent match for the position, as well as having over an additional semester(s) of school remaining, which would also qualify myself for this role.

I am a creative, hardworking, responsible, and motivated student. I have a passion for code, and am eager to learn more each and every day. Over the course of my time as a computer science student, I have learned quite a lot about the process of working as a software engineer, and through this internship, I strongly believe I will fit the role. As well as programming and building code, I am also eager to help Microsoft advance in the tech world. I would like an interview with the head of admissions at Microsoft, to present my qualifications as well as skills for this position.

I look forward to hearing back from you in the near future to discuss next steps. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Best,
