Coverletters

Have a questions for you all? What do you put in your coverletters?

There seems to be a lot of BS flowing around, like...

  1. express your interest. Well, if i was not interested i would not have applied.
  2. Talk about yourself My favorite color is blue, what else do you want to know? Give me an interview and i will tell you.
  3. Research the firm xxx is a leader because they did a $2 deal. i am sure HR guys knows all about it, i am just impress you can read
  4. i am just a bit bored... slow day.

but seriously, interested to know what you put on your coverletters?
