Please feel free to contact me at the above phone or email.

Thanks.
Yours Truly,

Certainly the person who answered this question is not a recruiter or works in the purchasing field.  The above letter is too generic & will certainly not impress nor get a person the job.  It lacks detail and has no pizzazz.
Address the company's main concerns first (explain to them how you can do this job) then if you'd like, state that your letter w/ resume is in response to their ad.
NEVER NEVER address a letter stating Dear Sir.  It will offend all female recipients.  NEVER NEVER NEVER include salary requirements unless it is absolutely necessary or you will be discounted without it.
Be creative.  Don't use the cookie cutter template that was offered to you.
Good luck to you.
