Dear Hiring Manager,

I am a 1st year Computer Science undergraduate student at The City College of New York. I am writing this in response to your post seeking an internship as a software developer. I believe your job posting and requirements concisely match to my experience and academic background as I am pursuing my BS in computational field and also serving as a City Tutor.

Currently, I am pursuing my education in Bachelor of Science in Computer Science which satisfies the core requirement. I have practiced programming in C as well as C++ languages and am going to learn Java as further advance studies. I am also familiar with various presentation platforms such as MS Excel for market data entry, PowerPoint Templates, Prezi and Keynote.

As it is just my undergraduate freshman year, this is going to be my first step in the computing field. But earlier in my career, I have worked as private tutor in India and am also currently working as a Math tutor which is also a form of computational application. It gives me a hand-on experience with college supervised instructional teaching and also trains me in balancing work and study which might fit in well with your demand of communicating effectively.

I did not considered myself a science student until ninth grade when I went to represent my school in the science fair and did exceptionally well in execution under hydroelectric projects. This achievement fueled my confidence in my further accomplishments which as a result designed my career path in the science world. For my college studies, moving to New York, the land of opportunities, has proved to be the best decision of my career building. I not only chose to enter in the vast computing world, but also chose the specialization in the category of software development.

I believe that working as an intern as a future software developer at your firm will not only broaden my experience but also bring me more closer to my dreams. Therefore, I would love the opportunity to schedule an interview for a better interaction. Please go through my resume and help me out in your organization. You can contact me by my email: maitripatel1299@gmail.com or contact number: +1(201)456-7342. Hope for your favorable reply.

Sincerely,
Maitri Patel
