--- NWR repost --- please help!

I am usually good at writing things but for some reason I cannot start the first paragraph of my resume cover letter. Here is a bit of background. I am moving to Florida on January 14th and want to send out my resume to a bunch of law firms in Florida next week. We are going there from December 13-18, at which time I want to interview with some firms. I just dont know how to word my cover letter since I am not sending it in response to a posting or job advertisement. CAN SOMEONE PLEASEEEE help me!
THANKS!!!

Hi, Do you have experience? Maybe something like............

As an _________ lawyer with _____ years experience, I am writing to inquire about employment opportunities in your firm.

Then, you can go into your qualifications etc.

Hope this helps! Esp b/c I am 'lurking' on your board

Thanks!

With 12 yrs exp, maybe if you research specific firms, you can links yourself to their specialty. I still think you can start it the same way.

Good luck!
