I was taught to write a concise and targeted cover letter at school but i've been in this industry 14 years now and never actually written a single cover letter.
My experience has been that the recruiter (internal or agent) will copy and paste your experience and details into the potential employers preferred format anyway and then pad it out a bit more after their initial phone call with you.
