To: jsmith@zurichna.com Subject: Zurich Finance Internship Inquiry Hello Mr. Smith, My name is Joshua John, and I am a sophomore majoring in Finance and Business Analytics at the Kelley School of Business. At the career fair last week, we discussed our mutual interests in the suburbs of Chicago and The Bears. We also spoke about your role at Zurich Insurance and the 2020 Summer Finance Internship. Though brief, our conversation piqued my interest. Consequently, I am reaching out to inquire and learn more about Zurich and the finance internship. Below is a brief summary on how some of my experiences can positively impact Zurich. This past summer, I gained experience in compiling insurance claim statistics as an intern at Broadspire, a third-party administrator for companies like Zurich. As a result, clients and management were able to evaluate their business strategies using insightful analytics. More importantly, I learned about various concepts in the insurance industry like subrogation, loss-run reports, and types of claims. Additionally, my position as the director of philanthropy at Phi Chi Theta Professional Business Fraternity has considerably developed my written and verbal communication skills. Most recently, I coordinated with the South Central Community Action Program (SCCAP) to hold an event where the fraternity helped cook and serve meals to less fortunate families in Bloomington. Overall, collaborating with organizations like SCCAP has provided me with the opportunity to correspond and interact with individuals from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. Di ersi is a fo nda ional aspec of Z rich s mission, and these situations have effectively prepared me to succeed in several types of team situations. All in all, my experiences have equipped me with the skills to positively contribute to Z rich s fas -paced work environment. If possible, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to further discuss the finance internship. I understand that your schedule is very busy, so please let me know some times you are available to talk within the month. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to meeting with you soon!
