Respected Sir/Madam,

Application for the role of Technology Summer Analyst

I, Akash Ranka, am an undergrad student at the National University of Singapore pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering with Business and Management as my minor. For several months now, I have been keen on gaining an experience of working for a firm such as yours, as I have always been interested in the dynamic world of banking and finance technologies, and also wish to pursue management or financial studies after my current degree.

Though my experience in the past has mainly been technical owing to the nature of my degree, I have had the opportunity to be a part of Start-Up@Singapore (S@S), an international business plan competition, where I am currently serving as the Competition Director. My duties include overseeing every aspect of the competition, ranging from identifying and securing judges for the event as well as planning the various stages of the event.

I believe that the experience I garnered at S@S will serve me well during my internship, and I am certain that I shall be able to actively contribute to the firm based on what I have learnt during my time as Competition Director. I have also worked in HDFC bank which gave me a good understanding of the bank work culture, which I’m sure will help me in my internship. I have also attached my resume for your perusal.

Further, apart from allowing me to have a firsthand look into the Banking and Technology industry, I believe that an internship at your firm will help me move towards a more rounded personality, simply because of the high degree of quality of service that is strived for and attained at Bank of America.

Yours faithfully,

Akash Ranka
