Good cover letter examples buyside

I hate cover letters! Probably because I have always had a hard time figuring out what to write. As a no-BS person, I can't get myself to write endless paragraphs on promoting myself, but maybe that's what's needed for PE / Investing roles?

It would be great if someone can add more clarity on what should be discussed in cover letters. Also, any examples would be great. Thank you monkeys.
