I would not include your salary expectations unless asked.

Even then, I would put in a range. OR tell them that you are open to any competitive offer. Pinning yourself down on a specific number can be risky. Too low...they start wondering about your skill level or experience. Too high, then you are over budget. Unless you are absolutely certain about the salary range within a few grand, I would not take the risk.

Brilliant tips Tsveta. Writing a great cover letter could take a bit of time and patience, but it's definitely an investment that can pay off big time! If I may add, keep it simple and use job-appropriate language (or not too stuffy) and avoid pretentious phrases.
