Dear Ms. Smith,

I am writing to apply for the Energy and Climate Change Internship currently posted on World Resources

Institute’s website. I have been actively following WRI’s role in the negotiations leading up to COP-15 and am

very interested in supporting this and other programs through this internship. I believe I would bring valuable

skills, experience and knowledge to the support of publications, events and other priorities in the Climate,

Energy and Transport division.

At Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies I am a candidate for a Master of Environmental

Management with a focus on Global Climate Change Science and Policy. I have two years of non-profit work

experience; excellent interpersonal, communication, computer and internet research skills; and significant event

coordination experience. At _____, I served as administrative support to the Director and excelled at

organizing the weekly roundtable program, managing multiple deadlines for grants and publications, and keeping

the website up-to-date. As co-leader of ________, I initiated and have been responsible for organizing two

semester-long lecture series focusing on climate change and energy policy.

I hope to be attending COP-15 as part of the ______ class at FES next winter, and am very enthusiastic about

the possibility of supporting WRI’s “Countdown to COP-15” and other projects this summer. I would love to

learn more about the planning for COP-15, and believe my combination of climate change science knowledge

and administrative experience would make a valuable contribution to the Climate, Energy and Transport

division.

My resume and a writing sample are enclosed for your review, and I am happy to answer any additional

questions you might have. I would welcome the opportunity to visit Washington, DC to interview for the

internship, and can be reached at fes.stud[email protected]

or (203)333-4444. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
