Norton Rose Fulbright cover letter

[njones95]

Hi all,

Just a quick question about the ideal format for the 750 word cover letter for the NRF TC application.

My idea is to structure it in this manner:

Dear Graduate Recruitment,

1) Why (commercial) law,
2) Why NRF,
3) Why me.

Yours faithfully,
[Name]

Do you think that would be about correct? I think I would avoid including addresses etc, as it seems they would eat too much into the word count.

Thanks!

I don’t think there is one correct approach - but this seems a very logical/appropriate approach. Your sections cover the relevant points but you could put 1, 2, and 3 in any order though.

Thank you! It's just good to know that I'm on the right track with my structure
