Need urgent help for cover letter

Hi Everyone!

I need some help with my cover letter. I wrote one and tried to omit writing sentences with "I am...", "I have..." etc.

However, I do have some sort of a problem with one particular sentence:

"Dear Sir or Madam,

My profile and experience match requirements and qualifications for the post of Administrative Officer. With an extensive international experience of more than six years in international organizations and the xxx government."

My question is: Is the second sentence acceptable? Can I start a sentence using "With an extensive international ..."

I would appreciate your help - many thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Airwalk
