Dear Human Resource Manager:

In response to your recent announcement, please accept this letter of interest and resume for the open position of Paralegal/Legal Assistant your firm has available. I have reviewed the position description over the internet and I know that I would be a good candidate.

As you review my resume, you will notice that I have completed an internship with Cummings, McClorey, Davis & Acho, P.L.C. My responsibilities consisted of writing a Motion for Summary Disposition, numerous Deposition summaries and performing various legal research assignments on Lexis for my supervisor attorney. My paralegal courses are completed and I am presently a senior at Wayne State University working toward my BA in Political Science. I have also worked for Jaffe, Raitt, Heuer & Weiss, P.C. in which I interviewed and obtained three distinctly different positions while employed there. I am detail oriented, well organized and will confront any challenge given with 110 percent. I work well independently and would enjoy opportunities to work as part of a team on larger projects. I believe that these qualifications make me a strong candidate for your open position.

Please refer to the enclosed resume which will further detail my experience, education and qualifications. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you for an interview. I would be proud to be associated with your firm and hope to hear from you in the near future. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Felicia Anderson
