Dear Sir or Madam,

Amazon is all about writing good code, and selling lots of products. I know that, you know that, and that is why, I know I am the perfect candidate for your internship. Let's not kid each other. I have a strong academic record at a competitive engineering school, and have hours upon hours of experience in software development and product management. I'm the guy you want, and if you are as obsessed about efficiency as I am, then you should put down the pile, and call me, because you won't find a better applicant for your internship.

Waiting for your call,

Kenan Rahmani
