Ask yourself these questions when proofreading your cover letter:

Is it under one page?
Did I find a specific name to address?
Does the first sentence grab attention (not "My name is...")?
Did I use at least one specific number or percentage?
Did I mention a specific company project or value?
Does my tone sound human?
Do I demonstrate how I can solve the specific problem mentioned in the job description?
Does my cover letter go over things they already know from my resume?
