Dear Mr. Haynes:
For the past three years I’ve practiced general law in Cityside, USA, and now I would like to work for your prestigious firm. I noticed from your listing on CareerJimmy.com that you are in urgent need of two general attorneys.
I’m writing today to apply for one of the positions as general attorney. I would like to arrange with you to work part-time in the office and part-time in my home — which would provide benefits for both of us.
May we meet to talk about the duties and the specialties you hope to see in the people you hire? I can show you the cases that display my success and also find out what you have to share about the nature of your law firm. I’m free any afternoon after 2:00 p.m. Please call 888-888-8888 to suggest a time that fits your calendar. Thank you for taking a moment to consider my resume cover letter.
Sincerely,
Joe Jobhunter
