Dear Sir or Madam:

Everyone knows that a great law firm starts with its people and you have assembled a group of people that have made Sidley Austin one of the most respected law firms in Chicago. This is an accomplishment to be proud of.

I find the Legal Secretary position that you are looking to fill to be fascinating. I find your areas of the law very interesting and feel that I can make a contribution to your firm with my experience. I am a Legal Secretary with ten years of experience in Corporate and Litigation, among other areas, and know that this experience would be beneficial to Sidley & Austin. I supported partners and associates by preparing legal documents and correspondence, keeping all information confidential, docketing the attorneys next court appearances, am familiar with electronic filings and redlining, and know what it takes to get the job done. I also handled travel arrangements and expense reports, am an excellent proofreader and kept a smooth-running office in their absence. I have experience with the duties described making me a viable candidate. I would like to speak with you regarding interviewing for the Legal Secretary position and have attached my resume for your review.

My qualifications include typing at 65 words per minute in addition to having Dictaphone experience. I am proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook and am always willing and interested in learning other software packages. My strong interpersonal skills are exemplified by my experience working with lawyers, executives, and managers of all levels. I have dealt with both personal and confidential information and can work well either independently or as part of a team. I find myself being proactive, customer-oriented, possess a keen eye for detail and a multi-tasker. I would bring to the position a strong work ethic, a professional attitude, and a willingness to take on new responsibilities.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss this position with you and may be reached at . Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Lynne M. Pudlo
