Example letter

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Banking Operations Associate role. I completed my B.Com in Banking and Insurance this year, and I am drawn to work where accuracy and careful process protect both customers and the bank.

During a two-month internship at a cooperative bank branch, I verified KYC documents for more than 250 new savings accounts, flagged mismatched address proofs before they reached the approval stage, and helped the branch clear a two-week backlog of account openings. I also assisted customers at the help desk with passbook updates and UPI setup, explaining each step simply. I am familiar with the basics of RBI KYC norms, and I am comfortable with data entry and Excel.

Your role needs careful verification, steady output and good customer service, which is what I practised at the branch. I would be glad to discuss how I can contribute to your operations team.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
