Dear [Receiver]

I saw your advertisement for an intern in your Goldsmith in the newspaper. I am a graduate of an arts school and i have specialized in metal work. I have a specific interest for art work made out of gold. As i believe I am the right candidate , i kindly request you to choose me for the intern.

I also did my final year project on artwork made out of gold. I have also attached with this letter , some pictures of the gold piece designs done by me. I am a perfectionist who gives the minute most details the fullest importance and thus i have the confidence that i will be able to give an authentic touch to the pieces you produce.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully,
[Your name]
