Ensure good quality stationery that matches the paper used for your resume (absolute must for that professional look). Similarly the font used in both documents must match. The letter should be crisp, brief and about half a page (maximum, one page). Get the name of the recipient, his/her designation, etc correctly. The letter should sell you convincingly. Work at it. The letter should have positive energy radiating out of it. It should clearly spell in as many ways as possible how you are the best man for this job. Quantify and qualify any claims you make.
