Dear Mrs Kate Johnson,

Thank you for the insightful experience I had as an intern in your organisation. I am grateful for being a
part of your team and I appreciate the time you took out of your busy schedule to teach me the ground
realities of the fashion industry.

You taught me so many things that went far beyond the theoretical knowledge I gained in university. The
tasks I performed during my internship allowed me to apply my university learning in a real-world
environment and I managed to develop my interpersonal and problem solving skills by interacting with
customers and other team members.

I want to thank you for the time you spent advising me on skills I should develop in the future and giving
me constructive criticism on my first attempt at my personal portfolio website. Please find enclosed a copy
of my updated resume, which includes my internship experience at your organisation. I would be grateful
if you could kindly provide me with some feedback.

Thank you, again, for making my internship a rewarding experience. I hope to keep in touch with you and
the rest of the team.

Best wishes,

Dear Matt,

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your guidance and supervision during my summer
internship. My experience was very rewarding and I have gained valuable insight into the marketing
industry. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and it was a pleasure being part of such a creative team.

Working on many different projects enabled me to experience numerous aspects of digital marketing from
social media outreach to creating successful email campaigns as well as keeping up to date with the
latest marketing trends. I am extremely grateful for instilling a sense of confidence and responsibility in
me by allowing me to create a social media campaign on my own.

Thank you for teaching me the importance of teamwork in the success of a project. You and the rest of
the team were welcoming, helpful, and offered me ongoing support throughout my internship.

Please extend my thanks and appreciation to the entire marketing team. If there is ever anything I could
do for you or the rest of the team, please let me know. I’d love to stay in touch and I hope we can arrange
a face to face meeting in the near future.

Best wishes,

Hi Mary,

I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to gain valuable experience over the last six months. I am
thankful to the entire team for letting me work hands-on in two major projects. It has been a wonderful
experience for me and I hope I was able to provide some value to you as well.

I appreciate the time you dedicated to me to make sure that I am properly trained to use all the tools and
your patience to answer all my questions. Giving me the opportunity to take on significant responsibility
by creating the design for a new website provided me with a depth of practical experience I would not
have gained in university.

This internship has definitely increased my interest in pursuing a career in web design. I would love to
stay in touch, and would be grateful if you could advise me on steps I should take to secure a full time job
in this industry after graduation. Once again, thank you for making my internship a rewarding experience.

Thanks.

Hi John,

I would like to thank you for the invaluable experience I gained over the last three months. I greatly value
your kindness and the time you dedicated to mentor me. You and the entire team welcomed me and
made me feel part of the team. It is due to my internship with you that I am now considering to pursue a
career in the charity sector.

Finishing this internship, I am walking away with many new skills that will help me in my future career. I
am especially grateful for having the opportunity to develop my commercial awareness and sharpen my
analytical skills by preparing reports on a weekly basis. Working in such a positive team environment,
inspired me to work with dedication and passion to achieve my goals.

I hope that after graduation, I might be able to speak with you about pursuing a career in the charity
sector. If I can ever be of further assistance to the organisation, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,
