Purpose of the Cover Letter
The cover letter introduces you to the prospective employer, demonstrates what your interest for and what you can bring to their organization. It helps them to evaluate your written communication skills. It also introduces your resume. It should make the employer interested in looking at your resume. You should always send a cover letter with your resume and you should never use the same cover letter for every position you apply for.
The letter should be one page long, single spaced and printed on paper that matches your resume.
