To Whom It May Concern,

I am a junior at Georgetown University, studying at the School of Foreign Service and majoring in Culture and Politics, with a minor in Contemporary Arab Studies. I am writing to you because I am very interested in interning for your company this summer. I believe that an internship with White & Case LLP will allow me to prepare myself for my future career plans, and that I will be able to benefit the company with my skills and hard work.

After finishing my undergraduate degree at Georgetown University, I plan on continuing my education by applying to and, hopefully, attending law school. I plan on specializing in international law and working for either an international law firm or an some international firm in the future. An internship with White & Case would be perfect for my plans because it would allow me to see first-hand how the law world works and decide whether my career plans are well-suited for me. I’ve had a long interest in international law, whether it has the potential to actually effect change in the international arena. I also think that an individual knowledgeable in international laws has an immense capacity to change the world for better. That is why I hope to pursue a career in international law.

I’ve previously interned at an organization called the Eurasia Center, which allowed me to see how smaller organizations are run. I was in charge of many office duties, which I’m sure prepared me for any future office or clerical duties with another company. I also had to do research and publish economic country profiles for the organization’s website, so I have research experience as well. I helped with the planning for a World Russian Forum, where my duties included creating mailing lists, contacting sponsors, translating duties, etc. I hope that I will be able to transfer everything I learned and use it with an internship at White & Case LLP this summer.

I’m currently studying in Paris until the beginning of June, so I would be available to intern from mid-June to the end of August, as well as part-time during the school year if needed. I hope that you will seriously consider me for the position and give me the chance to prove myself to you this summer.

Sincerely,

Kamilla Khabibrakhmanova
