To Whom I t May Concern,
Good afternoon sir/mam. I hope all is well. I am writ ing in regards to the Paralegal position
available. Currently, I am working as a paralegal specialist in the ARMY National Guard
and as a paralegal at a small law fi rm which has given me the ability to apply my analytical
skills required for legal work. In addition, not only do I have my paralegal certificate in the
ARMY but I also have my paralegal degree from Post University and only have nine classes
to go before I graduate with my bachelors in legal studies.
Working at the Law Office of Ramiro Alcazar in Meriden, CT I assist in credit repair cases
and some workers’ compensation claims. I also conduct complete t i tle searches sometimes
having to go to the properties location town hall. Being that it is a small office I am able to
work on a variety of many different tasks. I have become extremely efficient in wri ting legal
correspondence, performing legal research and communicating with original creditors and
collection companies.
M y excellent attention to detail and complete thoroughness has been praised by Ramiro
A lcazar and the ARMY.I personally believe I have an excellent foundation that is built
w hich is needed to strive as a new employee at your company. I look forward to having the
opportunity to learn all I can; while offering a more effective and efficient environment
w hich will allow me to immediately jump into the available position.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of possible employment.
Very Respectfully,
Becky Grant
