Dear Ms. Courtney:

Your advertisement for a legal secretary, placed January 3 on the Mississippi College career service website, grabbed my attention because my past work experience and education seem to meet your office’s needs. Here are three important qualifications I have to offer:

· Experience as a legal secretary while performing multiple tasks such as researching cases, paying bills, shipping invoices, and operating front desks activities.

· A strong interest in the legal profession and great communication skills.

· Proficient in the computer software necessary for the legal profession, including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, QuickBooks, and WordPerfect.

After you have examined the enclosed resume for more of my detailed qualifications, I would be glad to answer any of your questions. At your convenience, please call me to set up an interview to discuss how my legal experience and good personality could contribute to Porter & Malouf, P.A.

Sincerely,

Jordan L. Ash
