If you know the company inside out you can relate your own experiences and attributes to them. you do not want to bombard them with an essay so keep it brief in each paragraph.

So firstly start with why your interested in the company
(I am interested in the position you have available as...........and the awards your company is renown for meets my expectations in work ethics)

After extensive research i discovered.......something about the revenue, transaction the bank has brokered and then relate an example off a similar experience you have encountered.

Now you finish up with saying how you will adapt to their company and what you can offer them through your personal attributes and experience.

Finish up by saying....
You would be grateful if given the opportunity to discuss in further detail this wonderful opportunity that they have available.

(if you are feeling bold and brave it might be an idea to say.......
