Dear Ms. X

I am writing to explore the possibility of participating in a training program in your company.  As a French student pursuing a degree in Export Marketing, I am required by my University to complete a practical training in a company abroad. My training must start in September and last at least 6 months.

In regards to my legal eligibility to train with your organization, I would be participating in CIEE's Internship USA program, (www.ciee.org) which is sponsored by the Council on International Educational Exchange [CIEE].

As my sponsor, CIEE is authorized by the U.S. government to issue the necessary documentation for me to obtain a J-1 visa, which allows me to train legally in the U.S for up to twelve months.  I will also arrive with my US private  Health Insurance for whihc you have the details  here http://www.parenthese-paris.com/?page=30102040#item3

I look forward to hearing from you soon and I strongly believe that my motivation, personal skills and studies will allow me to excel in a training position with you. 

Sincerely,
