Dear Ms. Ng,
While opening today’s China Daily I accidentally spotted your advertisement for the
position of Patent Attorney. Although I have not been looking for a change, your ad
did catch my attention. I would very much like to work for a Fortune 500 company,and your firm is particularly attractive to me.
My credentials, as called for in your ad, include a B.S. in computer engineering from
Chengdu Institute of Technology and over two years in the computer industry as a
Patent Attorney. My law degree is a Juris Master (J.M.) from the prestigious
Tsinghua University School of Law in Beijing.
I am currently working for an I.P. firm in Chengdu, where I serve as their principal
attorney in the patent arena. The firm is small, with 12 attorneys and serving mostly
hi-tech companies in Southwest China. As such, I have had to be a generalist and to
learn extensively about computer engineering processes. My communicational
capability in the English language is considered top-notch among local attorneys.
I feel my qualifications are an excellent match for your requirements, and I would
appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and the members of your Law Staff to
further discuss your requirements.
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Sincerely,
Jingjing Wang, Esq.

investigate and direct all major litigation work (several cases in the multi-million
dollar range) covering a wide range of legal issues from patent infringement cases, to
consumer liability issues, to class action suits, to administrative proceedings, to name
just a few. I am proud to say that I have established a strong “winning” record over
the years.
Interesting, as called for in your ad, I have broad knowledge of corporate law to
include both general business and patent law. My career includes 5 years in the
patent area, 2 years as a legal specialist in the labor relations, and 4 years in real estate
related areas. This experience, coupled with my litigation background, should make
me a very desirable candidate for the position you are attempting to fill.
My resume is enclosed for your consideration. As requested, my compensation
requirements include a base salary in the RMB 400,000 to RMB 500,000 range plus
executive bonus.

my qualifications at your convenience.

This May Concern:
My recommendation respecting Ms. Lan Mojuan is based on my responsibility of
being her academic advisor. Ms. Lan is one of the finest students in Nankai
University School of Law.
Under my tutorship, Ms. Lan participated in the William International Arbitration
Contest held in Beijing in November 2003. Also under my tutorship and advice, Ms.
Lan participated twice in the Jessup International Moot Court Contest, also held in
Beijing, in 2002 and 2003 respectively. In all these contests, conducted in English,
Nankai team reached the semi-final stage and was consistently among the top five
best contest teams in the nation. Ms. Lan was a prime team member, her role being
that of legal research and writing.
Ms. Lan does not possess a fine look typically expected from a female Chinese
paralegal, and she does not talk much either. Yet, because of her VERY fine
personality, she is one of the students liked most in Nankai. She provided very
patient assistance to my legal research by collecting and outlining a large amount of
English legal documents. Particularly with her enduring assistance, I was able to
finish and publish a widely used law school textbook entitled “English for Attorneys
and Law Students.” I am quite impressed by Ms. Lan's English language skills and
her outstanding professional instinct, and was also touched by her great devotion to
details and her ability to endure long and strenuous working hours.
Given all these attributes, Ms. Lan is over qualified for a paralegal or legal translator
position she is applying for. I trust that Ms. Lan will make great contribution to your
law firm, and I recommend her without any reservation. Please do not hesitate to
contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely yours,
He Zhuyu
Associate Prof. of Law
