As an example I currently put:
"XXXXXXX is a company that I have respected and admired since my early childhood." I then go into qualifications. |

That's what I was pretty much assuming. It's a struggle to differentiate yourself from everyone else and it's a hard balance to find.

Yeah, I'd do that. Anything that will help create a connection.
Of course, the grass is always greener on the other side, so the odds are that your resume/letter will be read by at least some people who see the warts in the company, so I'd not be too effusive in your praise or you'll risk coming off as naive. I like your first sentence, and in order to put into context I'd lead it off with "As a person who grew up in XXXtown and encountered YYY company and its workers daily, YYYY is a company that I have respected and admired since my early childhood."

Is this a sales position? If so, don't be subtle.

I like dictators and please know that I will be a loyal servant if you should secure the position.
