OR
"I am convinced that the work on your project would be both an exciting and rewarding experience, and I am looking forward to hearing from you."

I don't think there should be a comma after "experience". I think the sentence is too long not to include "I" or "I am" in the second part.
It probably really should be two separate sentences. However, I can see you are trying to link both parts so if you want to have it as one sentence you could use either of the above but without the comma.

Might I point out that no employer in his right mind would expect a native German-speaker to be entirely conversant with every nuance of the English language? Your English is perfectly acceptable for general communication, JS (and a lot better than that of some natives) and an intelligent man like your prospective employer will make allowances accordingly.

Good luck with your application.

JS,

HB is quite right, as always!   Your first draft was  entirely fit for purpose, and I would not have offered any suggestions if you had not specifically asked for them.  I wish you every success with this.

Got the job. Once gain thanks to everyone for your generous help    :-bd
Now I have to decipher stuff like this and then translate it into English  :o 8)

Hopefully, I'll find something more interesting than "Well, its wet in the trench and I'm hungry" in the process.

Your mistaken FSN.   It was posted in 1915, but its only just arrived. :)

Congratulations.

The specimen in question is a letter of a soldier from 1915. Would need a better quality scan to actually decipher the old German letters and then translate...

Apparently Hans is telling some ine quickly something. That much I can read...

Congratulations J.S - hope the job is both interesting and fun.

Great news, JS. Although I don't envy you the task of deciphering that postcard!  :)
