Hi,
To be honest, recruiters are no paying that much attention to the cover letter.
In terms of the structure I would use the following (in paragraphs):
In terms of the content:
Why you is about your career path and extracurricular activities. Depending on your experiences either start from the first or from the last role (the later you are in your career the more sense it is to start with last one). You can mention a couple of your unique selling point and structure your lifepath around it. Add memorable projects or experience with high impact / cool brands / etc. that will stay in the memory of the reader.
Why "The Company" question can include the following arguments:

Hi Tommy,
One thing I would add to whats been said already.
Your cover letter could be a good place to justify or persuade the recruiter about a certain topic. For example, if applying to the UAE offices, recrutiers typically want to see that you have a good reason to be there - this could be spoken laugauge, family, previously lived there and want to settle there, experience with public sector work (since that's the focus with projects). etc...
That being said, it is not gauranteed that the recruiters will read that.

Hi Tommy,
Drop me a line and I can share an example of a good cover letter with comments in it.
Hope it helps you,
