Dear Legal Recruiting Manager of Large Out-of-Town Lawfirm:

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me yesterday, and allowing me the opportunity to speak with some of the great people at your firm. I came in with the highest of expectations.

My experiences at the firm reaffirmed to me that it is exactly the type of place at which I would love to begin my legal career. I was encouraged by the trivial nature of each of my interviews. Don't worry, I love talking about baseball; it's not like I'm trying to get a job or anything. Furthermore, I was especially encouraged by the dungeon-like atmosphere in which even your 5th-year associates worked. With a few years of hard work, they may someday earn a window; such goals are important, I'm sure, for one's professional development.

In conclusion, I believe I could be a successful and valuable part of your team. That's "could," in the subjunctive sense; I doubt very strongly that I will end up there. However, I must thank you for the two nights at a nice hotel downtown. The sirloin was excellent.

Sincerely,
Mike
