Re: Application for Summer Intern
Dear Hiring Manager,

I am a junior studying marketing at State University, and I am excited to apply for the Summer Intern position at Greenway Marketing.

In my digital marketing class, I led a team project that grew a local bakery's Instagram followers by 30% in six weeks. I also work part time at the campus help desk, where I learned to communicate clearly and manage my time.

I am skilled in Canva, Google Analytics and social media, and I am eager to learn from your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help your team.

Sincerely,
Jane Doe
Applying for: Summer Intern
