Dear Sir/ Madam, My name is Calvin Lee and I am currently an MSc Finance student at Imperial College Business School. I have previously obtained a First Class Honours Degree in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College. I am writing to apply for the Full Time Business Analyst position. I believe that my internship at Barclays Capital London, combined with the analytical skills I am developing during my MSc Finance degree make me a strong candidate for your group. At McKinsey I can see that you place a great emphasis on producing innovative and breakthrough solutions for clients to create lasting improvements in their performance. I share this value and during my internship at Barclays Capital, I used my analytical skills to understand the complexity of decommissioning North Sea oil platforms and delivered an innovative solution to reduce decommissioning costs for a client within a tight deadline of two weeks. I am also able to work with people at all levels in an organisation. During my internship with Minerva Advisors, apart from preparing pitch books alongside Junior Associates, I have pitched investment opportunities to executive clients. This has also allowed me to utilise my strong communication skills, which will allow me to excel in completing cross-border international projects, which are commonplace at McKinsey. My fluency in English, Mandarin and Cantonese will be instrumental in expanding your Asian client base. Speaking to Sing Kwan Ng, a Business Analyst in the Kuala Lumpur office has further motivated me to apply to McKinsey. I learned about the commitment of McKinsey in placing client interests before the firms. This pursuit for quality will require leadership, and I believe I am a good fit due to my experience as an orchestral conductor, where I constantly challenged my team to greater heights and managed to lead them to perform at Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. He also informed me about the strong culture of teamwork and respect within the firm. I can contribute to this environment by sharing my experiences of working on cross-border deals with people from various backgrounds, and also fresh perspectives on problem solving due to my international and multicultural background. A copy of my CV is enclosed for your reference. I feel my experience and approach would lend themselves well to the Full Time Business Analyst position in McKinsey. I am keen to meet the challenges of the role. I can be reached at +44(0)7761737753 or via email at calvin.lee08@imperial.ac.uk. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Yours faithfully, Calvin Lee
