Writing Sample?

College Life

<p>I recently contacted a Congressman from my state about an internship opportunity. His secretary wanted me to send a resume (which I have) and a brief writing sample. I am not really sure what to make of the "writing sample" do I write something new, or could I send in a paper I wrote? The papers I could send in are vary from 5-10 pages double spaced and covers topics such as Sophocles' Antigone, Cavour's role in Piedmontese Foreign Policy, and Justinian's Reign. Any advice?</p>
