I more than meet the stated criteria

Hi,

Question:
In the following sentence, it says" I more than meet the stated criteria."
However, I think I "just" meet the job requirements.
Not more than, and not less than.
How can I rewrite the following sentence (especially the blue part)?

Sentence:
It was with particular interest that I read your advertisement for the position of a trainee accountant, detailed on JobsDB, as I believe that I more than meet the stated criteria.

For all people who read my question:
In last few days, I asked lots of questions. I am sorry about that, because I am rewriting my job cover letter.

Thanks

The correct phrasing would be, " I meet the stated criteria."

To say, 1. "I just meet the stated criteria" is very different to saying:
2. "That is just what I need."

In (1), 'just' = barely, only just meet the criteria. It's like when I saying, "I only just passed the exam" = I was so close to failing, but I squeaked*** a pass.

*** squeaked: (informal) succe
