Subject: Application for a work-study position in business negotiation and management

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to apply for the work-study program in business negotiation and management, and I hope to demonstrate how I can be an asset to your company. My experience in communication and business negotiation—gained through internships and volunteer work—matches your expectations.

As an intern at Logi Food, I handled financial and treasury analysis, contributed to HR management, and helped design strategies for competitive intelligence and price/quality positioning. These tasks gave me a comprehensive view of operations management.

During another internship at Briqueterie Bati Chaouia, I worked in the sales department, managing professional client relationships and negotiating with major accounts and suppliers.

Additionally, my involvement with the “Sans Frontières” association, particularly through a partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, showcased my communication skills, essential for a business negotiator. These professional and volunteer experiences taught me to lead profitable projects—even working overnight—showing my ambition and discipline.

Lastly, my education at EM Strasbourg Business School (Grande École program) has strengthened my profile with a focus on management, finance, strategy, and marketing.
