Leveraging the fact that I have an offer in my cover letter

Hello,

I've received an offer from a bank but I am undecided about working there and want to explore other opportunities. What is the best way to leverage the fact that I have an offer in my cover letters?

I think it's important to say I have an offer in the introduction so it's noticed right away. Any advice is appreciated.

 

Mention your offer in the last lines of the cover letter and then attach a copy of the offer letter as proof, otherwise they will think you're trying to play them.

========================================= We are excited to formally extend to you an offer to join Bank of Ameria
 

Here's what I tried:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I currently have offers for $50k/year at the following firms: x firm, y firm, piper jaffries, etc. I believe I am qualified for a job at YOUR firm because I have this offer. Please contact me for an interview if you can offer me more money.

Best gards, Me

Got me an offer at GS, MS, and everywhere on WS
