To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for taking the time to review my resume. I am interested to learn more about your company.
I am enclosing my resume for your review. I have worked in the legal field for over 30 years as a legal assistant, paralegal and office manager in Florida, working in all positions of a law office (I even helped build furniture to open a new office). For the past 10-plus years my focus has been on organizing and entering the data received in discovery into the firm's database and preparing same for the attorneys' use in future discovery and trial. I am a great typist, proofreader, editor, and have an eye for detail and a strong knowledge of grammar. I have organized documents by date, by name, or by whatever key words are required. I have been working remotely for the past several years and I understand it is not for everyone; but I know I would certainly be an asset whether remotely or in person. Thank you for your assistance and your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to email me, call or text me at the address above. Best Regards,
Treasa Putnam
