In business communication, as in most other communication, you want to be as concise as possible while still being effective.

Your sentence "The reason for which I am writing..." with or without the "to you" is unnecessarily convoluted.

Try "I am writing to express my interest..."

or even "I am interested in..."

Get to the point. I read a lot of cover letters at work, and I'm not looking for high word count, I'm looking for basic information.
