Monica Weaver
To whom it may concern:
My name Monica Weaver and I recently graduated from York College of Pennsylvania with a
Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice. I am searching for an opportunity that will provide many
learning experiences and challenges, while being part of a prestigious team.
My goal is to expand my knowledge in the area of Criminal Justice and the legal system in
general. My experience with the Montgomery County Courthouse and the Benari Law Firm
boosted my enthusiasm about a possible work environment and interaction with people.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. If you have any questions, feel free to call
me (610) 780- 7495 or email me acdyfz@r.postjobfree.com. I greatly appreciate your time and
consideration.
Sincerely,
Monica Weaver
