What's the best way to word this on a cover letter?

If I'm applying for a position out of state or upstate and would basically move to the area in order to work there, what's the best way to word that on a cover letter? In the past I've put, "I would be willing to relocate for the position," but I'm not sure I like the way it sounds.

I wouldn't say you are 'willing' to relocate and rather, say that you ARE relocating. Then at the interview you can explain that it is contigent on a job. Also make sure to express your enthusiasm about your new plans - it would also be in your favor to get in that you are not looking for relocation expenses.

Thanks for the advice! This is what I felt the original wording conveyed and I didn't want to come off that way.
