    Let them know how far along you are in your training, what classes you have taken that are applicable to the firm (if it is a civil litigation firm…and you’ve taken civil lit for example). Put a bit about your experience in there. Google paralegal resume examples. You will find cover letter examples that way, too. You can get experience by volunteering with your local legal aid society.

    Dear Sir,
    Apropos your advertisement for the post of ” legal receptionist” , please find herewith my resume for favor of your consideration.
    I would like to draw your kind attention to the fact that i would be an apt candidate for the above post, and i am undergoing paralegal course.
    Since paralegal certificate is only preferred and not mandatory, i have ventured to apply for this post, and if selected i shall prove myself worthy of the confidence imposed in me.
    Thanking you in anticipation,
    With regards ,
