Put your own name and address top right. On the left, you put the name of your organisation, contact person, and address data. Below, you’ll mention the place, date, and subject of the letter. For example: open application marketing internship.
The letter consists of approximately 3 paragraphs:
Paragraph 1:
In the first paragraph, you tell that you are looking for an internship or are responding to a specific job opening.
