Dear Ms. Dora Allain:

Please accept this letter of interest for consideration as an Este Lauder intern this upcoming summer. I am a
Sophomore, communication major at the University of Maryland and am very interested in the field of makeup,
skincare, fragrance, and hair care products. I intend to graduate with a minor in general business, which would
facilitate future jobs by giving me the background knowledge to understand private business. Este Lauder
companys focus on respect for the individual, uncompromising ethics and integrity,
generosity of spirit and fearless persistence parallels to my passions. Also, the companys promise to
provide a High-Touch approach, which guides the company to deliver outstanding
personalized service and education to your consumers, is something that resonates with
me. With my strong skills in verbal and written communication and my interests in all aspects of the beauty
industry, this internship will further allow me to expand my knowledge from the ground up.

Through my experience working as a recruitment intern for the University of Maryland Football Program, I
have gained verbal and written communication skills. I spoke to potential recruits and answered any questions
they had about academics, coaches, practice schedules and other questions they asked of me. I also toured them
around the school and encouraged them to accept their offers with our football program. Ultimately, I learned
how to form a memorable connection with recruits and their families, as well as be able to network with the
many important recruiters in the Big 10 football Conference. I would love to continue to grow and enhance
these skills as a general intern while expanding my understanding of the beauty industry by working at a
corporate headquarters. I am an energetic and organized individual who takes pride in a job well done. I would
love to learn how the companys mission statement, Bringing the best to everyone we touch and being the best
in everything we do, is put into play on a daily basis in the office.

Throughout my academic life, I have used my skill set of being creative, a team player, and a problem solver in
order to be successful in different school projects. I have experience as a social media manager for the
Undergraduate Communication Association, which increased my competency working with various social
media outlets. I was able to expand our network of followers and post weekly on the organizations Instagram,
Facebook, and blog. This allowed me to be creative and collaborative with the other members of the club.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter of interest and to consider my qualifications. I have attached my
resume for your review and would welcome the opportunity to speak or meet with you.

Sincerely,

Ashley Holder
