Don't give a time.
Write: I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you and discuss this further.

If you put a line in there like that, your letter will most likely go into the waste basket. If this is an advertised position, there will be a stack of nice letters sitting there including yours. You should tell the person you will make time to meet with the potential interviewer so you can find out more about the company. You should finish off by saying that you will call to set an appointment.
If your resume is interesting enough, your proactive approach will make you stand out from the rest of the pack. Don't wait for someone else to decide on your fate, especially the person reading your cover letter may very well be a low level staff given the task of screening out a 100 cover letters.
Good luck.

I am looking forward to meeting you in person.
You can reach me at this number: XXX XXX XXXX any time.
Day or night.
Have a great day,

I would not even PUT the word "convenient" in there.
They have read that a million times.
Dare to be original and give the person a refreshing change from the same old stuff, they read over and over.
Believe me, it will make you look smart.

I would go with, "I look forward to meeting you at your earliest convenience". Remember, when you're asking them for the job you have to appear to be willing to work on their schedule. If you say 'equally' or 'mutually' convenient time, it gives the subtle hint that you aren't willing to cater to their needs. It helps give an eager, dedicated impression to leave that out.

Justme nailed it! Keep it sweet and simple, any prospective employer will spend about 5 seconds reviewing the cover before they go straight to the resume.

(at your request)
To avoid the time issue try a different approach, Something along these lines might work.
I’d like the opportunity to tell you more about my work experience and how my skills could contribute to the successful day-to-day operations of your company. I’d be happy to supply strong references at your request.

I've always used this:
"I am very excited at the prospect of a meeting with you to further your position and my skills and qualifications."
