Dear Sir........Yours faithfully

Dear <name>.......Yours sincerely

If you're enclosing your CV, best keep the letter short & to the point......something along the lines of "Withn reference to your vacancy for <whatever it is> I am pleased to enclose my CV for your records.

Should you have any query, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to receiving your repsonse in due course/at your earliest convenience."

Good luck!

A covering letter is just a way to introduce yourself to prospective employers. Tell them why you are interested in the job and what makes you the ideal candidate for it. Keep it short though, no more than one side of A4.
