Apologies if you've already seen these:

P.S. I've never heard of the practice of including a biography in third-person with a query letter to an agent. While I may be nuts, I think it is a bit much... all the pertinent information about your unique background and special qualifications should be in the letter itself, which should ideally be no longer than one page. Time enough for bios and such if the agent decides to represent the work. ˇ
