One of the universal problems of life:

How do you write a letter of intent without sounding like a pompous arse?

Honestly? No clue whatsoever! I hate, hate, hate that you have to say how good you are in this, that you are the bestest in that and basically, they have to take you because they can't find anybody better. Hate!

Sorry, that wasn't very helpful. I feel like a pompous arse each and every time. If it helps, I could send you my "standard" (german) thingie. It has the phrases that have worked for me far (got invited to interviews 8 out of 10 times).
