And is there a grammar error?

After 2-3 other prior sentences....
"I have prior work experience in X and Y which make me an ideal candidate for this role. Please see attached for my resume which includes additional information. I have a very strong interest in XYZ and ABC, and I look forward to hearing from you."

My suggestion:

"As reflected on my resume, prior work experience in the areas of X and Y will benefit your organization and I look forward to meeting with you to discuss more in detail."

Keep it simple and short, HR folks are inundated with a ton of resumes and cover letters. You want to catch their attention with as few words as possible.

Best of luck!

How will your prior experience make you an ideal candidate? (Example: My prior experience as a Male Bovine Excrement Disposal Technician makes me well-suited for handling customers' bull****.)

"Very strong" is overkill. Consider saying that you have a "strong interest" or are "very interested" instead. Or leave it out altogether. The fact that you are applying indicates that you (hopefully) have an interest in their company.
