[Hiring Manager]
[Government agency]

[Washington, DC 12091]

Dear Mr. Williams,

In reference to your job posting on [URL] under section [‘Vacancies’], I am applying for the Entry Level Attorney position at [Government agency] in Washington, DC. My objective as a well-grounded and passionate law student, is to provide objective and accurate legal support. Based on my educational background and extra-curricular activities, I am well-equipped to advocate for [Government agency]. I would like you to consider this job application starting from 01.01.2023 at your agency in [location].

To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Lauren Oakland] and I am a third-year student at [University]. My motivation to apply for this position is rooted in my deep commitment to public service and the increasing global threats and security challenges that our nation currently faces. I acknowledge your mission to ensure efficient and fair adjudicating requests for immigration benefits, and I believe that [Case 1] and [Case 2] are great examples that honor your values.

As a legal intern at [Law firm], I was able to work on issues including national security law, intelligence policy, cyber crime and online fraud. I helped to draft 10 legal briefs for pro-bono asylum cases. These assignments gave me the opportunity to hone my research, writing and analytical skills, and introduced me to the field of immigration law. After my internship, I signed up for extracurricular activities related to immigration law, and I started to focus on advising on and securing necessary visas. I provided these services through public interest fairs and received recognition for my efforts (see references).

I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss my candidacy and familiarity with [law field]. On [URL] I have published around 50 blog posts that demonstrate my affinity for [legal practices] and writing skills. I’ve also attached my resume, which further details my skills and experience. For additional information, you can contact me at [Phone number]. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Lauren Oakland
