Bad thing to put on a cover letter?

So the company describes the position as you will become a happy and nice trader

(not the right words but i dont want it googled :P)

would it be a bad thing to say on my cover letter, i want to become a happy and nice trader, or should i rephrase it in my own words?

Im thinking showing that i've done my research about what they look for (i had to dig this up off another page they posted on, official ofc) vs being unimaginative and tryhard.

Thoughts? you guys are really good for seeing this from a 3rd party perspective.

ragnar danneskjöldDirect quote, use quotation marks, bold and italicize!!! You want to look like everyone else or have your cover letter stand out?

I really cant tell if that is sarcasm or not...
