Dear Mr. Spillane: 
Thank you for talking to me on Tuesday. I found your insights into business law and 
practice with Divers Smith to be very helpful. I was particularly interested to learn about 
the positive impact being a C.P.A. has had on your law practice. I have been trying to 
figure out how to use my M.B.A. degree to be a better lawyer, and I appreciated your 
specific example of leveraging your financial knowledge into a better negotiating position 
when creating joint ventures or mergers. 
Finally, I would like to thank you for providing guidance about which M.B.A. majors would 
be helpful to a future in law. I agree that Finance could best complement my law degree 
for a business law practice. 
I enjoyed our conversation, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you. 
Respectfully, 
 
 
Matthew Myers
