Dear Mr. Taggert,

I am  [writing] to you in  [response] to your advertisement for a Legal Assistant specializing in Port Regulatory Law, which appeared in the Seattle Times on Sunday, June 15. As you can see from my  [enclosed] resume, my experience and  [qualifications]match this position's requirements.

I especially would like to  [point] out that I graduated Cum Laude from The University of Tacoma and was hired directly upon graduation  [due] to my expertise in port authority regulations.

During the four years that I worked for Shoreman and Co., I further deepened my  [knowledge] of the fast changing regulatory laws in our state. My  [employer] also thought highly enough of my  [abilities] to promote me to head legal researcher after my first year of employment.

I look forward to an  [opportunity] to personally discuss the position with you. I will call you within the next five days to arrange an interview.

Sincerely,

Robert Jeeves
