Cover letters have always the same format:

The first paragraph intrducing you and addressing the name of the position
The second paragraph uses the main keywords in the job posting and make reference to your experience
The thrid paragraph is a closure where you say you are confident you are the exact match and you look forward for an interview

Of course, every CL and resume must be customized for the job posting

Agreed. Every Cover Letter needs to be customized to the recipient. Yes it takes more time, but the receiver will see you've spent time writing a customized letter vs a generic letter. I personally like using a bullet style format in the body of the letter, as it's fast and you can get your point across very quickly.

See these pages for Cover Letter examples:
