Washington D.C.  20008

Dear Mr. Freedman:

Thank you for your recent letter and resume expressing interest in an associate position with our firm.  Your credentials have been reviewed and given careful consideration.  Unfortunately, in light of our specific needs, it does not appear that we will be able to offer you a position.

In the course of our interviewing at a number of law schools and receiving hundreds of direct inquiries, we inevitably find ourselves having to make extremely difficult choices among highly qualified applicants.  I hope you can appreciate the difficulties we face in evaluating the qualifications and experience of a great many persons, who like you, have accomplished records.

We very much appreciate your interest in Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue and wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely,

Thomas F. Cullen, Jr.

Recruiting Chairman
