Cover Letter Review - Would like some comments

Hey guys,

I'm applying for a winter break internship at a Charlotte IB and I would like some comments on my cover letter.

Thanks

Dear Ms. XXXX,

My name is XXXX and I am currently a sophomore Finance major at the XXX. I was recently introduced to your firm via online research and was impressed by the opportunity of an immersive experience matched with an open-minded environment as well as the long list of your transaction history. I am interested in pursuing an Investment Banking Analyst position at your firm over winter break, and have attached my resume and included my background information below.

I am seeking an intensive and exhaustive experience in an investment bank that values creativity and offers me more than a stereotypical internship. I have developed strong problem solving skills at the University of XXXX and leadership through my Fraternity as well as the Boy Scouts of America. Through these organizations I have grown to excel at teamwork and I am to set and finish timely goals all while maintaining a perfect GPA. My dedication to following through on projects and tasks is unwavering as is my enthusiasm to learn.

A copy of my resume is enclosed for your reference. I would welcome an opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you and learn more about XXX at your earliest convenience. I can be reached at XXX or via email at XXX. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Warm Regards,

XXXXX
