Dear IOM HR Director ,

I am writing to express my sincere interest in the position of an intern at the Office of the Director

Currently I am completing my International Studies degree with a field concentration of International
Cooperation and Development and after reading the job description I believe that my background,
previous work experience and academic performance all combined make me suitably qualified for
your specific requirements.

Pursuing my degree, I obtained extensive knowledge of governmental and non-governmental
organizations, and the issues of migration, human rights and diverse humanitarian aspects have
always been within my focus of particular interest and passion. For this reason I am greatly excited
by the prospect of being able to use this knowledge, along with strong interest and commitment, to
