My cover letter, I highlighted in orange what I don't really like?? what should I put there.  This letter was an example from someone that is a huge hiring manager from a large global organization, so I really don't want to change a whole lot.  Not sure about the next paragraph either.

As my resume will show I have extensive organization, communicative and managerial experience. Accustomed to working in various environments where deadlines are a priority and handling multiple responsibilities simultaneously, I thrive on the challenge to meet and exceed goals. Skilled at time management and working with a variety of people, I believe my education, knowledge, skills and abilities are a good match to the qualifications you are seeking.

Thank you for your consideration.
