Dear Mr. Smith,
As a third-year student at Stetson University College of Law, I am pursuing associate opportunities in the Chicago area. Payton, Jordan and Gretzky is of interest to me due to its diversity of clientele and its Chicago location. I lived in the Chicago area for many years prior to law school and still have many friends and relatives there.
My undergraduate education and my law school coursework have emphasized broad-based interests in commercial litigation and tax law. In researching your firm, I noted that your clients include not only my alma mater, but the Chicago Bears and Marshal Field Department Stores. It was also interesting to find that your firm has departments in litigation, tax and commercial law. It is your firm's work in these areas that has led to my interest in your office.
I will visit my relatives in Chicago from March 18 - 25, and would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you at your convenience. I will call you in the next few weeks to see if such an interview could be arranged. Please contact me at (813) 797-8834 if you need any additional information.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely yours,
(signature)
Richard Anderson
