A cover letter and a resume should be taken into consideration when you applying for a job. As you know, a cover letter included functions as a more personal account-- why you are suitable for the job, for it could include some unique details, such as your background and interests. You can use it to emphasize your qualities and experience, which may not be shown in your resume.
There are some important points for your reference. I think that you should put your detailed contact information; you should not make it too complicated, for briefness is the best policy; also, make it valuable for the companies that you apply to. You should seize the chance to use it to emphasis your strengths. You need to address your cover letter to the head of the human resources department. It is wise to make more specific references to the particular position that you are interested in.
Here are some sample cover letters for your reference
