[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 222459, member: 36777"] I think you are covering everything relevant, but I would switch up the ordering a bit to help it flow more naturally. Thus, my structure would go like this: [LIST=1] [*][B]Why commercial law[/B]: starting from the highest level of generality, it makes sense to explain why you are interested in this profession in the first place before discussing your interest in the firm or why you are a good fit, as without an interest in the career it would make no sense to have an interest in the firm or to care about any "fit" in terms of skills and abilities. [*][B]Why the firm + why the open day:[/B] I would discuss these two together, as the "why this open day" part is normally just wanting to learn more about an aspect of the firm that already interests you. [*][B]Why you:[/B] this should come last in my opinion, as once again it only makes sense to discuss your "fit" if your interest in the firm is already established. Furthermore, since this is where you will likely bring in your most impressive skills and achievements, it makes for a good ending note to leave the reader with. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
