What I did was do an internet search and type in "example resume cover letters" and then you will find lots of examples to review (most job sites - like Monster.com - also have sections with examples and hints). Find one that applies to your target job (there are different styles for technical, retail, service industry, etc jobs).
They are all pretty basic, but you can pick one you like and/or fits the situation and then personalize it.
Good luck in the interview!!!

2.Show personality.
Give the employer a sense of your personality through your writing style, direct statements about your character, or testimonial references.
3.Initiate action.
Understand what you would like the employer to do as a result of your letter and ask him or her to do it.
4. Make it quick and easy to read.
Format your one page letter using short paragraphs, bullet points, and white space to make your letter look quick and easy to read.
