Mr. Puckett,

Thank you for your reply. I would be happy to work for you from home  
for however long it takes your firm to sort out any logistics.

Thank you! I look forward to hearing back from you next week.

Sincerely Yours,

Carolynn Beck

Carolynn,
We are interested and very seriously considering your offer.  Give us  
until next week to get back to you.  We are growing and have some  
logistical issues to sort out first, like office space.  Are you  
willing to work from home, at least temporarily?

Dear Mr. Puckett,

I am a SEAL wife who has been following the news on Petty Officers  
McCabe, Huertas, and Keefe. I am emailing to find out if your firm has  
any employment or volunteer opportunities for someone like myself. I  
am a 2009 law grad from University of Southern California, barred in  
California and pending in DC, with a strong interest in criminal law.  
I worked in a firm in Los Angeles, Dreier Stein Kahan Browne Woods  
George, LLP, and had an offer to return full time, but when the firm  
dissolved in November of 2008, I decided to move to northern Virginia  
to be closer to my husband. With the economy the way it is, it has  
been tough finding employment as a new grad. I am reaching out to as  
many people as I can, and in the meantime have decided to volunteer my  
time doing clinics with the Legal Services of Northern Virginia.

I would greatly appreciate any advice, contacts, or employment  
opportunities you may know of in the DC metro area, or anywhere in  
Virginia. While I am primarily seeking paid opportunities, I am also  
happy to volunteer my time if necessary. I have excellent legal  
research and writing skills that I would love to put to good use  
during this period of unemployment. I would be especially grateful for  
an opportunity to help you in any way I can with your firm's work for  
Mr. McCabe. As you can imagine, the case is very important to me  
personally, so I would be eager to help with legal research, or even  
just to observe your work as a learning opportunity.

Even if you do not have any opportunities available for me, I would be  
grateful for any time you can take to give me advice or suggestions on  
my job search. I'm attaching my resume for your convenience.

Thanks in advance for your time. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely Yours,

Carolynn Beck.
