I have seen hundreds and hundreds of resumes, but have never -- not once -- been shown a cover letter by anybody whose name wasn't on it.
They are always thrown away.
Probably some places expect to get it, but they don't pass it along. So, it really doesn't matter much what it says unless you are writing it to a specific person. In that case any other letter would be useless.
