Have the date on there and address the hiring manager. State how you found their vacancy and also state why you would like to work for that company. You need to be honest, because it will show up if you aren't, eventually. Google this company and include any good news about them in your cover letter that you have found and state that this is one of the reasons you are impressed with them. This will help you to write that amazing cover letter.

Your cover letter should also include a brief description of your qualifications, but you must measure it against the qualifications sought by the employer for this particular position. For example if the position is looking for someone with 10 years experience with documented success in the commercial insurance industry, you absolutely have to state that is what you have in your cover letter and is why you feel you would be an excellent fit for the company in this available position.

Convey your enthusiasm and as you end your cover letter, state that you will follow up with a call to the hiring manager in a week with a phone call.

Tips & Warnings
You may need a job, but mass mailing your resume won't get it, you need to target a few companies that you feel you would be a good fit for and then do everything you can to get the job available.
In today's economy it's now about who wants the job most as there are many unemployed who are well qualified, so you must show how you will be an asset to their company.
