Dear Hiring Manager:

I strongly believe that I have the qualifications for the position of Legal secretary with your law firm. I am a very passionate worker and I am highly motivated. I learned of this open job position from the website indeed.

As an ABA certified Paralegal with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, I have knowledge and skills that apply directly to the Paralegal field. I am currently an Administrative Assistant in an immigration law Firm so I understand the needs of this type of practice. From completing the Paralegal program, I have learned aspects of our court systems, how law applies to citizens and how researching is the biggest tool a paralegal can utilize. Furthermore, as an intern in the Westchester County DA'S office, I became well trained in searching databases, opening new cases, filing, completing forms and shadowing in court. I understand the importance of accuracy in research and creating legal documents. I believe I would be a great addition to your firm.

I currently volunteer as an Auxiliary Police Officer for the New York City Police Department, a position I have had for eight years, giving me first-hand knowledge of the criminal law and legal system.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the Legal secretary position and how my background would benefit your team. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Michael B. Blumberg
