Dear Sir/Madam:

I am currently seeking employment in the legal field as a secretary

and/or administrative assistant in the medical field. I was at my last job

for 25.5 years before they downsized. When my job was eliminated in 2012,

the timing was right since a family member with cancer required 24/7 care

at home for his illness. He has recently passed away and am anxious to get

back to work. Attached please find my resume. I can be reached at the

above number at all times. My prior rate was $32.14 per hour, however, my

present rate is negotiable. I do not require medical benefits, and am

willing to work part time, however will work full time if available.

Thank you for your consideration.

Very truly yours,

Frances Coco
