dear associate:

　　 what a wonderful service you provide! placing qualified professionals within the legal profession serves the needs of many, particularly someone like myself who is entering the field with so much to offer.

　　 as i near completion of the aba-approved paralegal program at state college, i am preparing to offer my skills to los angeles county law firms. in addition to my superior, straight-a record in this program, i possess a background in the business world that arms me with a valuable perspective others may not have.

　　 for20 years, i was an integral member of digital electronics' product innovation team. in this capacity, i worked closely with federal regulators and patent attorneys, and i can bring this experience to bear on behalf of your clients.

　　 also, i am trained in automated legal research programs (lexis and westlaw), and maintain my student password.

　　 i would welcome the chance to pursue any openings for which you feel i may be qualified.

　　 sincerely,
