The thing about a cover letter is that it is assumed that it is not vitally important, and frankly many people do not read them, so some people skip them completely. My advice is that it is better to have one that is unread, than to skip it and have the reader looking for one... So first, it should be a simple letter that reads something like this:
Dear _____, ( make sure you put the right name here or "To Whom It May Concern" )
My name is _____ and I am responding to your recent advertisement in ___________ for a ___________. As you can see by my resume ( attached) my background, experience, and education are an excellent match for the opportunity, and I hope that you will take a moment and review my qualifications. My home is convenient to your location, so I would be open to an in-office interview the whenever you have some time on your schedule.
Sincerely
______
As you can see this is a very simple letter, but it gives you the chance to get many resumes to employers without having to author a new format with every resume you submit.
