Dear Sir/Madam,

This is regarding a career opportunity with Morgan Stanley Singapore. This is Susan, a second year Statistics student from National University of Singapore. I am very interested in applying for the Summer Analyst Programme in Operations Division. I came to know the opportunities at Morgan Stanley through a career talk given at my school last year.

As Morgan Stanley is a world leader in the financial industry, I am eager to immerse myself into this talent intensive environment. I believe with my aptitude for learning, passion for winning and thirst for new knowledge, I can indeed fit well into this challenging work environment and excel at Morgan Stanley.

 I believe the following attributes of mine could contribute to the nature of this position.

1.     Analytical mind and excellent problem-solving skills

From years of intensive statistics training, I developed an analytical and systematic approach to new problems.

2.     Communication skills

I am an enthusiastic and spontaneous person who enjoys interacting and collaborating with people. I have undergone diverse past experiences that allowed me to develop effective rapport and teamwork with others.

3.     Ability to rapidly learn and grasp new knowledge

      I was usually regarded as a fast learner. During my research attachment, I completed              an independent research project with minimum supervision. I obtained various financial service certificates within one month despite the tide schedule of school examinations.

Please consider my qualifications for Summer Analyst Programme in Operations Division. You can expect to hear from me next week to talk further and discuss opportunities to meet personally at your convenience. I will be in Singapore until Jan 5th 2012, before I embark on my overseas exchange to the United States. I can be reached at (65)92751460.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Song Haotang, Susan
