Innovation Labs

Dear Sarah Chen,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the Software Engineering Internship at Innovation Labs. As a junior Computer Science student with a passion for software development, I am eager to apply my academic knowledge in a real-world setting.

Through my coursework, I have gained experience in Java, Python, and web development technologies. I recently completed a group project where we built a full-stack web application using React and Node.js, which taught me valuable collaboration and problem-solving skills.

I am particularly excited about Innovation Labs' focus on cutting-edge technology and innovation. I am eager to learn from experienced engineers and contribute to meaningful projects while developing my professional skills.

Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team.

Sincerely,

David Kim
