I just went through hiring, and put specifically in the ad to direct the resume' "Attn: Amy." You wouldn't believe how many sir/madams I got as well as bulk e-mails. HELLO... Do NOT bulk e-mail your resume'. We can see that!

Don't tell us your sob story about why you need the amount of money you do. I am a firm believer that every raise I get should be merit-based; however, I also know how much I really need to keep up with my cost of living (*cough* my $450/month in student loans!).

I'm going to reitterate the be honest thing. Not only for the employer, but for you as well. Keep in mind that the employer knows the job better than you do, and if you're right for the job, you'll get it. If you're wrong for it, you may be more miserable if you lie just to get it.
