Answer Ahmed,
Like most HR people, I do not believe in using a cover letter since it is nothing more than duplication of information that is in the resume itself. Many HR people tell me that they do not even look at the cover letter.
With this in mind, I suggest you place greater emphasis upon your resume (which I would be happy to evaluate) to make it more effective.
A few important things to remember about the resume:
1. it is intended to gain an interview NOT a job,
2. should be confined to a single page, and
3. contain a very specific explanation you are seeking.
