I agree with Kathy. I may not read the entire cover letter (I do generally scan through it, though), but it looks bad if you don't even bother writing one. I figure if someone can't take the time to write even a short cover letter, they're not going to take the time to do a good job when they're working for me. Also, when you're writing a cover letter or resume, don't go crazy with the thesarus on your computer. Yes, we can tell when you're doing that and it makes you look ridiculous.
Also, never ever use the phrase "I am a motivated team player." It is, as Jules says, GHEY.
(BTW, I'm not a recruiter, but my department has a very high turnover rate—we're hiring once every 6 months or so—and I've seen tons of resumes.)
