Dear Mr Roche

 

 

Tries to find the name of the appropriate person to write to if possible.

I am a second-year law student at the University of Kent and am writing to apply for a mini-pupillage in May or June 2011.

Your chambers interests me as it offers a broad range of commercial experience and is particularly noted for employment work, an area into which I have gained some insight through my experience at the Kent Law Clinic.


 

States what she is applying for.

States when she's available to start

Says why she's interested in the employer.

I believe that I have the necessary abilities to succeed at the Bar. I am confident speaking in public but can also relate well to people on an individual basis, whether advising, negotiating or explaining. I am able to handle a number of different tasks simultaneously, as was demonstrated last summer when I achieved high grades in my first-year exams while rehearsing for the University end-of-term concert and finalising arrangements for my study visit to the Ukraine.

Above all, I am committed to a career at the Bar and have made every effort to develop these skills and gain relevant experience in order to achieve my goal. I hope that you will be able to offer me the opportunity to further my knowledge through a mini-pupillage and look forward to hearing from you.

 

 

Summarises her strengths and how they might be an advantage.

Relates her skills to the job.

Says why she's interested in the type of work

I will be available from 19th May until 20th June, after which I will be taking up employment on a children's summer camp in Massachusetts until September.

Yours sincerely

Lee Galligle
