There are many example of cover letters, templates and lists freely available. In my experience, particularly when using a cover letter to supplement your CV you need to show your passion and enthusiasm for whatever position you are applying for, by carefully crafting the cover letter to be specific for the job. The letter gives you an opportunity to convey things that your CV wont, things like wider experiences relevant to the company or institute, and actually why - given an applicant pool of similarly qualified people - you should be invited for interview.
It should be obvious that the cover letter should be well written, and free from obvious grammatical errors...you would be surprised how often this is not the case
