It is polite enough. But I would suggest a grammatic change (separating the "via post" explanation with commas) and, perhaps, a shift in why you are sending it. For example: I have applied online.

That's just a suggestion.

I agree with Doctor D. The revised version reads so much better.

Sorry, but no commas necessary or desirable:

I have applied online, but I would like to send you my CV via post as well. I am eager to compete for the the xx vacancy.

This is also grammatically correct, although the wording is not as formal as the earlier example.
