The CV Cover Letter examples on this page are the easiest way to create what you want when you need to send in your CV and a cover letter for a job application.
This is the simplest form of both documents, but together they make a very good package for you to submit.
You should note that the letter actually says you are interested, and you go on to say why; that is because you know something already about the organization, which suggests that you really are interested.
The CV cover letter in the example below can be virtually used as is, just change the relevant lines to your own information and you're good to go!
