As an ex-interviewer, reading cover letters are like reading how well a person can research the Internet, because most of these letters were just copied off a site. What I find interesting are those that are genuine (or what seems to be). I usually give time to read it and read their resumes as well.
Here are some tips on how to format your cover letter:
Always use the same heading for your cover letter that you have used in your resume.
Whenever possible, use the hiring manager’s name. This personalizes the document and shows attention to detail.
Include in your opening paragraph what job you’re interested in and a specific reason as to why you feel qualified for this position.
Include in the body of the letter the specific experience, skills or accomplishments from your past that dovetail with the requirements of the new job.
