LETTER 5-22: PARALEGAL—RELOCATION

Ms. Joanna Moore
Ralston, Mine & Lewis RE: 5-15-XX City Times
123 Walnut Street ad for a Paralegal
Atlanta, GA 09876
Dear Ms. Moore:
This August I will be relocating to Atlanta where I hope to
continue serving as a paralegal. My work with first-rate attorneys
equips me to offer you an exceptional mix of training, knowledge,
experience, and professionalism.

As you’ll see on the enclosed resume, I have worked for several
law firms in the Philadelphia area. I am proficient in many areas of
criminal and civil trials with an additional concentration in
contracts and titles. As a result, I can offer you an unusual level of
expertise in researching complaints and discovery requests as well
as responses to counterclaims, motions for discovery sanctions,
motions for summary judgments, and motions to dismiss.

The attorneys with whom I work have provided me with superior
recommendations to aid me in my search. I would appreciate the Supports
opportunity to present these to you, and introduce myself as a candidacy.
candidate for the position at your firm.
Ms. Moore, I will be in Atlanta at the end of this month. If you will
contact me at (555) 765-4321 during the day or evening, we can
schedule an appointment.

Thank you.
Sincerely,

Howard M. Melman
