the excellent candidate

Hi,
I was wondering if on cover letter, does it make a difference or is it incorrect to say that," I am an excellent candidate for the position or I am the excellent candidate for the position?"

Thanks

clee62 I am an excellent candidate for the position That's fine. clee62 I am the excellent candidate for the position No, unless you want to use the superlative, which I do not recommend, as it is pompous and pretentious: I am the most excellent candidate for the position.
