I think not. If such a letter is required (many journals now support an electronic submission systems, in which accompanying letters are not assumed), then it should be just standard and polite. I also don’t think that in any journal, even one that works with potential authors by traditional methods, someone will find time to read and analyze the text of the accompanying letter. If it is impudent and boorish - then, of course, the reaction will be ...
Cover letters may not add much value to the submission. If the Abstract aptly summarizes what is in the paper that is more than enough.
Cover letters are extremely important when you submit a resume or CV for a job.
Dear Swanand S Tupsakhare
You have made very important points. Thank you
I do not think that the Cover letters has any role in accepting and publishing the research
I think it depends on the journal and the compatibility between the submitted paper and the journal's scopes.
If paper can be adapted with overall view of journal, then a good letter will promote its publication decision.
Thank you Demetris Christopoulos for your valuable contribution.
