I start my letters with, "Please accept the enclosed resume as application for the position of ...." The words, "Please" and "Thank you" are good to use.
In the first 3 sentences you use the word "I" 4 times, "my" and "me" each once. It is better style if you can minimize their use because the reader is more interested in how things relate to him than how they relate to you.

The advice that I have seen ( newspaper column that deals with employment advice ) is that most employers either don't want a cover letter, don't read it or want it short. Like "Thanks for looking at my resume". Also the resume should be short. 1 page if possible. Little or no personal info. Just education, work history and certifications related to the job.
I have been inelectronics manufacturing for 25 yr. now.

The cover letter really doesn't mean squat unless you have misspellings and use poor grammar. Employers don't care about all that crap about being an asset to the company or your assessment of your skills and attitude.
Keep it short and to the point---Here's my resume, call me.
