After the investigation, I wrote a recommendation report that I submitted to the Agency Board for their final review and determination.
The report contained a statement of the facts, the violation, the rule of law, the analysis of the facts to the law, a conclusion, and a recommendation to further investigate or not further the investigation."
I would work on making this more concise; however, bits are really good. I have reworded for clarity and flow. Avoid leading with homemaker experience unless you strongly tie in the transferable skills as well.
"I have strong educational credentials that compliment the skills I have learned through work experience. I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Juris Doctorate degree. I am more prepared than most candidates as I’ve read through the Grant Monitoring Policies and Procedure Manual, and understand the objectives, and requirements. There are similarities to what I did as a legal analyst, in that I reviewed financial records of businesses that failed to pay sales and uses taxes to the State. I investigated to determine if money was misappropriated for personal use. After the investigation, I wrote a recommendation report that I submitted to the Agency Board for their final review and determination. These are just a few of the responsibilities in which I am already well versed."

"I see that your school encourages getting invested in a collaborative aspect of medicine and research. I worked as a part-time researcher in visualizing and analyzing chemical compounds and how they work in regards to medicine. I started to sharpen my critical thinking skills. This year, I graduated from University with a bachelor’s of science in biochemistry. If you choose to hire me, I will work tirelessly, while applying the knowledge from my biochemistry classes."

"I think it's because I not only have the UX skills and experience; what set's me apart is the wealth of experience I have from running my own business, managing teams, juggling different projects and partnerships. Most importantly, I have a passion for UX, which comes from years of working in sales & marketing, where the customer comes first. I have a natural empathy for the user."

"My seven years of experience at my previous company show my dedication. In my three years of working in another country, I gained a lot of international work experience, and have worked with many cultures. On the sales floor, I can create a fun environment in which my team can work."
Try to dig a bit deeper, touching on what you bring that other candidates do not. For instance, do you speak multiple languages or have an educational background that will specifically benefit the company? Perhaps you blow your sales targets to oblivion every week :) Brainstorm a few ways you are unique! Your international experience is one reason, so you may want to address that in a more strategic way.
"You should hire me because I show a dedication rarely seen in retail. When I started at Apple, I did not have a strong technical background. That didn't stop me from becoming the #1 sales person in the company within six months. I am a competitive achiever, passionate for international business and learning new cultures. You won't be disappointed when you hire me."
