Currently I serve as Counsel at Miller & Howard where I specialize in international banking. My book of business includes three French banks, and two private investment funds currently transacting throughout Europe and North America and seeking to build their business in the United States.  \nMy interest in Drexler, Smith & Knobb is primarily based on the firm’s preeminent legal practice in Paris and Madrid, which would allow me to better service my clients both domestically and abroad. During my seven years at Miller & Howard, I have provided legal advice to corporate officers on securities and employment law issues, as well as international corporate and trade issues. Based on my knowledge of your firm, I understand that many French banks ranked among the “BusinessWeek Global 1000” are clients of your offices both in the U.S. and in Rome. I believe that my experience will allow me to make a significant contribution to the services of your firm.  \nPrior to attending Yale Law School, I was an investment banker at Citigroup and developed extremely effective quantitative, communication and negotiation skills, which I was able to transfer to the practice of law. Immediately following law school I served as a law clerk for Justice Robert P. Patterson in the U. S. District Court, S.D.N.Y. and as an associate at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy before moving to Miller & Howard to further focus my practice on international banking.  \nEnclosed is a copy of my resume for your review and I am available at your convenience to discuss possible opportunities at your firm. Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional materials. Thank you for your consideration.  \nSincerely,  \nName  \nName  \nEnclosure  \nPRIVATE SECTOR SAMPLE LETTER  \n55 Broad Street Boston, MA 02018  \nDATE  \nMs. Jane Smith  \nDirector of Legal Personnel  \nLaurel & Mann, LLP  \n15 Eighth Street  \nLos Angeles, CA 90001  \nDear Ms. Smith:  \nI am an attorney admitted in Massachusetts and California currently practicing with James, Levy & Mitchell in Boston. I am writing in response to your position listing for a mid-level bankruptcy attorney. I am originally from Los Angeles and after several years of practice in Boston I am excited to return permanently to California.  \nMy interest in Laurel & Mann is primarily based on the firm’s preeminent bankruptcy practice. During my four years at James, Levy & Mitchell I have gained experience in both litigation and transactional matters, but have found my primary interest to be in the area of bankruptcy. While at James, Levy I have assisted clients in both Chapter 7 and 11 filings and related litigation, and have re-negotiated loan agreements with lenders and co-counsel. In addition, I offer my legal services pro bono to the Greater Boston Foreclosure Remediation Program, which assists victims of predatory loans by renegotiating more favorable terms. As a student at Yale Law School, I first developed an interest in bankruptcy through my coursework and my summer experience with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  \nI believe that my legal experience coupled with my education will allow me to make a significant contribution to your firm. Enclosed is a copy of my resume for your review and I am available at your convenience for an interview. Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional materials.
