SAMPLE COVER LETTER #6: SECOND-YEAR STUDENT
91 Lyman Orchard Way
New Haven, CT 06511
(203) 555-8732
October 1, 2013
Deanna R. Booth
Hiring Attorney
Food Research and Action Center
1875 Connecticut Avenue, NW
Suite 540
Washington, DC 20009
Dear Ms. Booth:
I am a second-year student at Yale Law School seeking employment for the summer. If funding is not available
for summer interns, Yale could fund my summer employment. I am very interested in the work of the Food
Research and Action Center in the areas of health law and nutrition in maternal and child health, and would
greatly value the opportunity to work with and learn from attorneys practicing in these areas.
As you can see from my enclosed resume, I have practical work experience in these fields. My work as an
assistant ombudsperson at a major hospital helped me to understand the importance of nutrition for health and the
need for advocacy on behalf of those who cannot effectively advocate for themselves. My experience with the
National Health Law program exposed me to the legislative and policy side of health law and the value of legal
training in public service. After my first year of law school I was able to combine my nursing degree and health
care experience with my new legal research and writing skills at the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy.
This experience has strengthened my interest in grassroots organizing and advocacy of nutrition issues for low-
income Americans.
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you or someone in your office about a position as a summer intern
at the Center. I will call your office in early February to see whether it might be possible to arrange an interview
and look forward to speaking with you then.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Andrew Carter
