Knowing that...

I want to write a cover letter, and I would like to add something like "knowing that XYZ is a growth oriented company..." but something sounds wrong to me...
Can anybody give some ideas about possible alternatives?
" Understanding that.." sounds better to me, but still I am not sure..

With full knowledge that XYZ is a growth-oriented company, I can reassure you my full awareness about the responsibilities regarding this job offer.

Is this a letter in which you accept a job that has been offered to you?

"Knowing that XYZ is a growth oriented company, I can reassure you my full awareness about the responsibilities regarding this job offer."

i see several problems with this sentence.
eg You are talking about a job or a position with the company. Until they offer you a job, there is no 'job offer'.

As we have commented, it is not an acceptable sentence in the context of a person seeking a job.
