Using someone else’s template is a bad idea, given the reason that you have to tailor your mail according to the requirements of each firm. But, still, you can follow this structure for drafting your mail -
Dear XYZ Sir,
[Greet the recipient]
[Introduce yourself. Specify the team, location and dates for the internship]
[Give reasons as to why you are applying in the team/firm and what you like about the team/firm. Specify a publication by the partner or a deal that they have worked.]
[Next, talk about how your experiences is fit for the internship. Talk about your previous internships, moots & publications that are relevant for the position you are seeking.]
[Conclude by saying you are hoping to work and contribute to their team]
I'm thinking about sending out cold emails for internships, but I'm unsure of where to start. While I've seen some tips online, having a sample template would be really helpful. If anyone has had success in securing an internship or even just getting a response, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share a generic draft that I can use as a guide.
