Dear Hiring Manager, 

I am applying for the government relations intern position in the 

Corporate Counsel department posted on your company website. 
This position was referred to me by my sister-in-law, Nicole Ranoni, 
who works at another Publix Corporate location in Lakeland. She 
referred me due to my strong interest in your organization, as well 
as the experience I can bring to the position that is reflected in my 
resume.  

As a Lakelander, Publix has always been a part of my life, making 

the impact of your organization obvious to me. Being an 
environmental science major, Publix’s commitment to sustainability 
furthers my interest in this position. Furthermore, Publix’s 
dedication to its employees as reflected in its mission statement 
makes me eager to contribute to the organization. 

During my undergraduate career at USF, I have developed excellent 

communication and writing skills through my classes and as the 
managing editor at my student newspaper, The Oracle. My 
background in environmental science has also allowed me to hone 
a strong ability to problem solve and think analytically. In addition, I 
learned how to be very efficient and organized in a legal setting 
during my summer internship at the State Attorney’s Office.   

I hope you will be able to interview me so we can discuss how my 

qualifications meet your needs. Please either call me at (863) 
430-5584 or email me at ranoni.maria@gmail.com. I look forward to 
hearing back. Thank you for your valued time.  

Sincerely, 
 

 
Maria Ranoni
