"Should you consider my application, I can be contacted at . . . . . " , "Should I qualify for the job, I can be contacted at . . . . . . . . . ." or "Should you feel I qualify for the position, I can be contacted at . . . . . . any time at your convenience."
This part should be in the last sentence/ paragraph of the application letter. Aside from the physical address, email address, and contact numbers in your CV, this should also be placed in the application letter not for you to be contacted per se, but this is a part of the application letter.
Since your application letter accompanies your CV, do not forget to include this line before this "contact" scenario, "Attached is my CV and pertinent document for ready reference" , "Attached is my CV and pertinent documents for further evaluation" and so on. This will serve as the motivating factor or springboard as others called it for the reader to go over your CV even the reader will actually go over your CV for them to have a better view of what you can be and can contribute to the benefit of the company.
Every part of the application letter should have that intriguing tone. The content and your choice of words should only be those with weight and have positive views. Do not even try to use this "maybe", "might" or "if" words as this indicates negative energy to the reader. With these weak words, the reader or the HR manager who will read the application letter will think twice if you will be considered or not. This should not be as you are also qualified for the position. Obviously because no one will apply on a job which the applicant doesn't have enough knowledge on the nature of the job.
Unless you have other interesting details for this matter, you can always shift to it. Anyways, this is not an assurance for you to be shortlisted in you job application. But you can reconstruct the idea to suit your specific needs.

Some Experience in the Application Letter
Stating at least one (1) experience in your application letter, I can say. is one of the important parts of the application letter. Why? You are selling yourself, convincing the reader that you are highly qualified for the job. With your experience in it, you will motivate or the reader will be stimulated for you to be shortlisted or be called for an interview to shed light on this brief experience you stated.
This work experience should be very brief as you need to consume one (1) paragraph only for this part. It is not telling the story experience per se, but stating along how you become part of a successful accomplishment in an objective. Stating your contribution for three to four sentences is enough. You should be aware that an application letter is one page letter only. All the details you wanted to include should be placed in your CV.
Your experience (if any) should goes like this: "In my previous job as ___________ , I managed to develop a shorter process - a shortcut where the qualify of the service (or product) was not compromised as the monthly sales were uplifted and at the time minimized the time exerted by the line workers."
Though this will motivate the reader for your to be shortlisted, I need you to be very careful in this one as this will be asked again later when you reach the interview section. Of course, you don't have to put something if you don't have experience yet. But you can state some accomplishments too, during your college days. Say, for example, you are a member of the student council or school paper or a seminar you attended where you were one of the successful participants. Just don't put any if you don't have one, anyways, your CV will say it all afterwards.
Again, I would like to emphasize that this is only guide and not exactly the pattern of your application letter for you to get hired. it is your sole responsibility to write your won application letter. Also, I would like to suggest you read other application letter format for better understanding of this type of letter and so on.
