Then write a salutation. Don’t start a cover letter with 'Dear Sir or Madam.' or 'To Whom It May Concern'. If you know the name of the person you are addressing, you can use it.
In the opening paragraph be direct and express excitement to work for the company. Also, mention if someone referred you for the position.
In the second paragraph, you can convince the employer that you are a great fit by presenting your qualifications and sustaining them with examples from the previous jobs.
In the third paragraph present what you bring to the table. What would be your contribution to the company? Try to convince the employer about your skills and about what the company will gain if they hire you.
In the closing paragraph, you can request a meeting or a call for discussing further details.

In the second paragraph you should show why you are the perfect fit.
You can also highlight your achieved results at the job.

The best cover letter ending is by providing value.

The post script is a great hack to draw the hiring manager's attention one last time!
You should use the P.S. to tell something impressive about your career.
The first paragraph will determine if the hiring manager will read on.
Communicate your passion for your work, and your excitement about the job and company.
e.g.: Given my x years of experience at a similar position, I would appreciate your consideration for this position.
e.g.: X let me know about the open position and suggested to contact you as they feel I would be a good fit for the position.
You should mention the position you are applying for, as the hiring manager can often look for candidates for several job openings.
E.g.: I am writing to express my strong interest in the x position open at x company.

The header of every professional cover letter should include your contact information, employer's contact information.
It is not obligatory but it makes your cover letter more official.
LinkedIn or Twitter only.
Optionally you can add
To find out the hiring manager's name, do some research on the company.
