I would also include an address before my letter started (like a normal letter format, but no one does this), and write the title of the person, their department, and the FULL address. Content-wise, I used one or two examples to show how I have the skills they want (and I used exactly what is in the job ad), and tried to include a line about why that job/subject matter in particular drew me to the position. I ended the letter with a signed copy of my signature to show that I went the extra mile. Under the "Skills/Qualifications" header in my resume, I would mimick what's in the job posting to show I catered my resume to the job. Interview went great, I prepared like crazy and read past reports to reference, which showed I was prepared. I smiled a lot, tried not to be nervous, and for everything they asked me I had stories/examples prepared. I went in with a typed out list of questions that I had for them (4-5), which were specific to the job duties (i. e. clarifying something in the job ad), or more big-picture questions about the future plans of the organization.

They said at the end of my interview that I had strong presentation skills and had good questions for them. After the interview, I mailed a handwritten thank you card to each of the two people who interviewed me, even though they both work in the same room. A week or so later, they asked for references, and the day after I got this offer! Woo!
