Riveting cover letters, like any good writing, are hard to produce.
But they get attention a lot faster than most any unsolicited
manuscript.  And they don't breed contempt or police attention (hint:
don't say anything about "unabomber" on an envelope if you expect a
sane or well-balanced person to open it).

The other approach is more of a challenge, but isn't everything else
about writing your heart out?
