Cover letter is letter or email which you should write along with the resume. Every time you sends your resume to employer; cover letter explains a bit about you, your resume, the post applied for & your experience etc. You can also put your current & expected salary on it.

Remember, Cover letter gets read before your resume does so you get a chance to start a communication with the employer with this.
If your cover letter conveys the message of yours toward the job & starts describing you, It’s great that way you are winning attention of your employer
& he will defiantly be more careful towards you & your resume.

I shall advocate a cover letter which will form a dialogue describing your abilities & suitability towards job. Doesn’t matter if it takes 2 to 3 extra lines in a letter.
