How does this cover letter sound? It's actually an email with attached CV.

I look forward to hearing from you but in the meantime, if you require any further information please do not hesitiate to contact me.
Kind Regards,

Dear Sir/Madam is actually very bad. Make the effort to get a name, or at least a job title.
You are telling them you would like to apply for a job. Deep joy. Are you going to apply for it then? Better would be something like : This is my application to be considered for .....
Please find my ... is clumsy and unnatural, what about :
I have enclosed my CV along with this covering letter.
It is a new sentence. Not a comma. Two ideas, two sentences.
I hope to hear .... bit stilted again, what about "If you want to speak to me about my application or need more information I can be contacted on... (and give a reliable contact number or email address)!
Kind regards - don't like it - perhaps "yours sincerely" or "yours faithfully" depending on whether you know the person. Kind regards, best regards is a bit annonymous fax-like.
I think you should aim for business like clear concise, but personal english. Pseudo business babble is unnecessary imho.
There are web sites with examples of all sorts of letters you might have to write in life.
