-I am very excited to apply for a Software Development internship at Optiver.
-I think it would be great to be able to work and learn about the challenges faced by a multinational trading firm.
+I am very excited to apply for the Investment Banking and Capital Markets Analyst Winter Internship at Credit Suisse.
+I think it would be great to be able to work and learn about the challenges faced by a multinational bank.
 
 I am a Master's of Electrical Engineering with Business student, finishing in 2022.
 I have completed my Bachelor of Science and Diploma of computing in 2020, also from the University of Melbourne.
-In these, I have been exposed to a wide range of problems and have been tasked with finding creative solutions within constrains, which I believe should help with a placement at Optiver.
+In these, I have been exposed to a wide range of problems and have been tasked with finding creative solutions within constrains, which I believe should help with a placement at Credit Suisse.
 
-I have experience programming in C and Java, solving problems at systems and user levels.
-I also have some experience with programming hardware in Verilog and VHDL.
-For work, I have done some development with embedded systems, and am generally interested in the tight performance constraints there presented.
-In my own time, I have played with various open server and enterprise level technologies in my own time, particularly virtualisation and containerisation.
+I am also very used to working within teams on technical challenges, both at university and in the outside workspace.
+Often these challenges have required me to coordinate with my teammates to research new information and work towards a solution to the task at hand.
+I have found that the technical background and communication training has enabled me to approach problems from an unconventional position, often providing novel solutions.
+Additionally, I have an interest in the movement of capital, beginning from family discussions and continuing to high school and university education.
+I greatly enjoy reading about the latest movements of companies, particularly within the tech sector where I also have technical understanding.
 
-I believe that a position with Optiver would offer some fantastic opportunities I would be unable to experience anywhere else.
-The constraints faced from algorithmic trading fascinate me, particularly due to the emphasis placed on, and potential gain from, marginal improvements in performance.
-Additionally, I think the business of proprietary trading is an interesting one, being that as it is the firm's own money being traded rather than a group of investors, the firm exposes itself to more risk creating a larger emphasis on quality trades.
-The sale of derivatives to institutions seems like an interesting additional method of raising revenue, requiring a sizeable technological back end to mitigate risk.
+I believe that a position with Credit Suisse would offer some fantastic opportunities I would be unable to experience anywhere else.
+The size, scale and history of Credit Suisse amazes and inspires me, due to its reach and potential for impact on the world.
+Being a Bulge Bracket investment bank, the scope of investments undertaken are unlike those anywhere else and have the potential to direct the course of global economics.
+This provides the bank and those working within the ability to direct the world towards a better future and to make a real difference.
+It is for this ability to make a difference that I want to intern with you.
 
 I look forward to hearing from you.
