What's the point of the cover letter?

Cover letters are an additional opportunity to "wow" an employer. As such, they should not be treated as an insignificant "hoop" to jump through.

I believe the cover letter is rather a profissional way to submit or post a CV.
I gives and impression of decency of showing interest praticularly in the organization the candidate is try to join.
Where the reader is given the massage that the applicat values the organization and is able to express it confedintly as he/she can speak for his/herself It reflect a personal aspects of the personality of the applicant  as some times the writer gets to speak a bit about his/her persnal life and of course the skill and qualifications he/she the fit the vacancy big time.
It's most used by applicants middle and top managerial levels.Recruiters who who are selective enough and care about the caliber they are filtering , do pay attention to cover letters and read it thouroly .I believe all applicants must get adapt the culture of submiting a cover letter with their resumes.
I hope you agree :)

It's embarrashing i'd rather not to make Application Cover Letter and submit only CV or Resume.
