What makes a Cover Letter Unique

Hi there,

Interested to hear what others do / have seen that makes a great cover letter.

Making the assumption that all CL's are read, I believe that a CL can really make or break an application.

Is there any introductory paragraph format that is especially effective? Or any way of laying out the CL that works well?

Really interested to hear!
