Don't use a cover letter if that is the limit of your writing ability.

Agreed and I think cover letters should be way more streamlined and directed,
>I am applying for position in area x with xyz baseline credentials (education, work xp, etc)
>next part is the following reasons are why I feel I'm qualified for this position and list off how you check the boxes on the requirements/preferred trait list
>then wrap it up with "in conclusion, i think that im good 4 u and u gud 4 me, thank 4 ur time, by
Your cover letter should be highlighting your experience. Instead of writing an essay make bullets. Make an introductory paragraph of who you are and why you would like this opportunity. Then make bullets of highlighted experiences and projects you managed. People reading these don't want to read an essay. They want to see the person you are and your qualifications as quick as possible.

Thanks for actual advise.
I was going with 4 sections; greeting, skills, application of skills and closing. I do like your streamlined recommendation.

Looks good.
Cover letters should be short and sweet:
> Here's who I am
> Here's why I like your company
> Here's how I think I can help/make changes
Also, don't listen to the critics, I think this cover letter is pretty good. It could be a LITTLE shorter, but it's about the correct length.

Shorten it up.
