Sample Networking Emails For Recruiters

Hi Julie,

My name is [insert Student Name], currently an undergraduate at the [insert School Name]. Fiona Holdcroft mentioned you as a resource for questions on Global Capital Markets internship recruiting at Morgan Stanley.

I am very interested in the Morgan Stanley Global Capital Markets summer analyst position and was wondering if you could connect me to people currently in the group for me to engage with and talk on their experiences.

I have been following the strong deal trends this year (particularly the boom in M&A for the healthcare sector), and Morgan Stanley has advised on the Valeant Pharmaceutical International Inc. - Allergan takeover, a deal that I am currently looking at. I have also applied for the summer analyst position through the Morgan Stanley website and through [insert School Name] career advancement.

Throughout the ongoing recruiting process, I look forward to learning more about the opportunities and getting involved with Morgan Stanley.

Have a great day,
