Dear Ms. McVey:

I graduated from the University of Denver College of Law in December and took the bar

examination in February. I am interested in applying for an associate position with

McVey, Laird & Chien. My research indicates that your firm specializes in insurance

defense, which is an area in which I have substantial experience for a recent law school

graduate.

As a clerk for an auto subrogation firm during the past two years, I was exposed to a

tremendous variety of insurance issues in connection with civil litigation. Due to the

extremely hectic caseload of the firm, I assumed a great deal of responsibility. I quickly

became adept at multi-tasking and prioritizing in order to expedite the processing stages

of initial lawsuits while still continuing to work on active cases. I honed my writing skills

significantly while drafting litigation documents for county and district courts. The firm

was very pleased with my work but unfortunately has no permanent positions available

right now.

Before attending law school, I worked for four years for the insurance broker ABC &

Company. In that position, I worked closely with national insurance carriers, which gave

me additional experience with the insurance industry. Working under tight deadlines

and mediating between opposing parties, I developed the ability to work well under

pressure. I received the "Peak Performer" award for my performance during the fourth

quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2001.

I have enclosed my resume and transcript, for your consideration. I look forward to

discussing my qualifications for the associate position in more detail with you. Thank

you in advance for your consideration of my application.

Sincerely,

Andrew Ryan

Enclosure
