Dear first and last name
Your ad caught my attention as I do see it as the logical step in my professional development. After working for 11+ years as a Paralegal, I took some time off from my career to assist my grandson with his condition of Autism, which he desperately needed. At this point I now feel I have the exact qualification (your company) seeks.
IF (COPA NAME) wants someone with personal qualities, current with the industry trends and strong relevant skills (I have taken Principles 0f Paralegal Studies; legal research; legal Case Analysis; Litigation; criminal law; Introduction to Real Estates; bankruptcy and 120 hour Legal Internship).
To join their team. I am the one. I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact at your to discuss this opportunity.
My sincere gratitude for your time and consideration.
Regards,
Doreen C. Ortiz
