   I will tell you the best basic formula for cover letters:

   Thank them for their time and consideration
   Tell them how wonderful their organization is
   Tell them how wonderful you are
   Tell them how wonderful you could be together
   and thank them again with an open offer for anything that you can do to give them more information to help them make a decision

   I know this sounds simplistic, but give some specific examples and make sure you write professionally, and it works wonderfully!
