Dear Mr. Cummings:

I have recently relocated to Florida, and I would like the assistance of Any Employment Agency to locate a court or paralegal-related administrative position with one of your clients. The Legal Administrator posting appearing on your website seems ideal!

As described in the enclosed resume, in Washington, D.C., I was a legal assistant for a well-respected law firm. There, my responsibilities included completion of legal research, drafting and proofing documents, interviewing witnesses and clients, and preparing documentation needed to support litigation activities of attorneys.

As a result, I have highly refined technical and organizational skills, including comprehensive computer expertise. I have extensive experience working on multiple projects and meeting deadlines in a team-oriented legal environment. Now, I seek to continue my legal support career here in Florida. I hope you will find me a qualified candidate for the position posted and refer me to the client seeking to hire a Legal Administrator. I also hope you have additional clients who have engaged you to find candidates for immediate full-time or part-time opportunities. I will call to discuss your reactions to this letter and to determine if a meeting would be mutually beneficial.

I look forward to speaking with you, with one of your Any Agency colleagues, or with one of your client firms whenever appropriate. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Chris Smith
