Ms. Alberta Baigent

Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle

101 Park Avenue

New York, NY 10178-0061

Dear Ms. Baigent:

I am a first-year student at Yale Law School seeking a position with Curtis, Mallet-Prevost for the Summer 2014.

I am a native New Yorker and am focusing my summer job search in New York City.

I am interested in your firm because of its focus in international law generally and more particularly because of

your firm’s presence in France and numerous French clients. Having lived and studied in Paris for one year during

college, and having served as a teaching assistant for French courses, I am fluent in the language and

knowledgeable about French culture. My degree in International Relations has provided me with an understanding

of many of the complex issues facing businesses with the increase in globalization. I plan to further my

understanding of these issues as a member of the Yale Journal of International Law.

I am confident that my background and experience will enable me to make a positive contribution to your clients.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Jane Doe
