I am very eager to return to the workforce and believe my pent-up enthusiasm for work, combined with my relevant educational and professional credentials, will help me contribute meaningfully to the organization.
I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my potential fit for this position by phone or in person at your convenience.

A gap in employment does not have to mean a gap on your resume. Unless they specifically require you to enter chronological work history, when you have those gaps such as are common with stay-at-home parents or military spouses, you should be using a functional resume format, instead. Learn to translate the skills you've learned both on & off the job into function area. Do not discount your volunteer experience, as it also can provide relevant skills & should be included.
