While Human Resources/Hiring Managers can only interview candidates who have the minimum educational qualifications and skills for secretarial/clerical jobs, the cover letter is your opportunity to highlight certain features that quickly show you are qualified and may distinguish you from other applicants. Diplomas/degrees and community/volunteer work may be valuable as additional resources. Keep in mind that Human Resources/Hiring Managers may receive hundreds of applications. The faster they can assess your qualifications, the better. Be brief and to the point.
