[QUOTE="Abstruser, post: 13627, member: 260"] I usually structured my cover letters like so: [LIST] [*]Introduction (Name, current position) [*]Why [commercial] law (details of motivation) [*]Why the firm (firm's unique features, applied to the motivations in the above paragraph) [*]Conclusion (I look forward to hearing back from you etc) [/LIST] As to whether you should include deals in a cover letter - I have mentioned deals in my cover letters, some successful and others not. I would say mentioning a deal is fine if you're genuinely backing up a point you're making, but be sure that it is absolutely necessary to mention the deal. I would be careful of artificially structuring your cover letter around a deal just for the sake of mentioning a deal. Ditto for statistics. Bottom line - I think its fine to mention deals and statistics, just be sure its necessary to the point you're making. [/QUOTE]
