Moreorless,a cover letter is as important as CV . In fact, the cover letter is a precedence to the CV or the attached documents but should not be repetition of CV instead give a brief like why you are interested in a particular job and give a summary of your skills and qualities you contribute to the company. It should not be a casual letter but required thought, knowledge and understanding of employer business and job requirements. Many employers/recruiters read cover letter first, if they are satisfied, then they will consider your CV. It should be in an active and engaging style using key words applicable to the job. It is a sample of your drafting too. This is a kind of marketing pamphlet of yourself, must be precise and impressive.
