I want a cover letter that tells me that the person has read the ad,  
and is responding TO ME, about MY AD.  It's a letter, not a stock  
piece of paper.  For example:
Dear Mr. Lester,

My colleague Bill Odom referred me to the job recently posted on  
jobs.perl.org.  I believe that I can help Follett with a good set of  
skills, including:
* 4 years of database apps for MyCo, including....
* 3 years Perl experience, including two CPAN modules (http://...)  
that extend DBI....
* A BS in CS from UIUC, with a 3.7 GPA.
* Experience in the book industry, and a natural love of books.

I look forward for a chance to meet with you to discuss your needs  
and how I can help you and FLR.
