email cover letter HELP

WSO has been so helpful. Thanks!

I'm working on my cover letter for a prop trading firm. Can you give me some feedback?

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please accept the attached resume to consider for the trader trainee position. Managing a non-profit brought me in daily contact with the world of finance, which developed into enthusiasm for the financial markets. A position as a trader brings together my diverse experience as an entrepreneur, in computer programming, financial analysis, and corporate finance. I would welcome an opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you and learn more about [Firm Name] at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Regards,
