The general association of a Cover Letter is with a Resume.  However, you can use a Cover letter for a number of business reasons as well.  You could be writing a Loan Cover letter or a Cover letter while getting into a contract.

Such a cover letter would serve the purpose of getting your reader’s attention and focus on the main points in the material that you are attaching.

The cover letter in effect could be a summary of the documents you have included.  It can also include suggested action the reader may take regarding the matter on hand.

The letters are best addressed to a particular person rather than just a designation.

The letters should be polite, brief and to the point.

It is good to give the reader an indication that you would be willing to give any clarifications that may be required from their side.

Sign off politely while thanking the reader.

Remember to mention the Enclosures you would be sending along with the letter.  It is preferable to enumerate them at the end of the letter, below your signature and name.
