What should a cover letter look like?

[oilboy2]

Good day to everybody. I am currently embarking on the start of a career as a ff/emt. I was told that the best thing to have is a really good cover letter as this keeps the panel interested from the start. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what you put on a cover letter, which info should be left for a resume? and what is in general eyecatching. Thank you very much in advance!

For US Candidates:

I’m a one-page resume guy for entry level without a cover letter, not in a binder or folder. Do not give us a book. We will not read it. The board does not have enough time.
