Here is the original in its entirety. I thought the first part was pretty good so I did not include in my initial post. Now that I have read all of the comments here, I figured the whole letter should be improved.

Greetings Ms./Mr [last name],
Your opening position for a Clinical Research Coordinator has recently been sent to my attention. With eight years of experience coordinating clinical trials, as well as thirteen years as a field interviewer and research assistant, I feel appropriately qualified to excel in this position. I am a team player, a congenial and effective liaison, and a self-starter with the ability to work autonomously under minimal supervision. I enjoy commuting and will relocate if necessary.
Attached is my resume for your review. You will find that I have worked amongst a vast population of many cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, with ages ranging from adolescence to geriatric. I hope that you will consider me a strong candidate for this position and will eagerly await your reply.
Sincerely,
