Dear Mr. Richards:

I'm writing to express my interest in the recently advertised Associate role. I believe I
could bring valuable skills and experience to Insurance Defense Law Firm that would make
me an ideal fit for this position.

I have five years of experience as a lawyer/assistant lawyer and in this time I have
graduated from Yale University, received my degree, became liable to work in the state of
Georgia, worked as an intern at O’Donnell and Well Law, volunteered at Jameson and Son
Law, and taught a Law Workshop for interested young adults.

In these past few years I have worked hard to obtain my juris doctor degree, and graduate
as a High Honor Roll Student. I have been working various jobs at alternating law firms and I
am ready to hold a permanent job.

I that I would be an ideal candidate for this position because not only do I have prior
experience as a lawyer, I also have previously worked assisting people. Therefore, my
customer service skills are already at an advanced level. I have also spent years studying and
working with defense cases, which is the main aspect of this position.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application, and I look forward to hearing
from you.

Yours sincerely,

Matt J. Smith
