Do they have to be long winded hoo hars or is "I would like to apply for the so and so position please find my cv enclosed" (only making more sense and a little padded out) ok??

My mind has gone blank and any help/pre-written letters/templates would be greatly appreciated.

Covering letters?

Draw extra attention to relevant skills and stuff in the CV, make it all relevant to the company in question, try to keep in at maybe 1/2 to 3/4 side A4 (inc your address at top, reasonable size font).

The effort you put in depends on the job you're going for, I guess.

And try to sound sincere, rather than cliched.

My template:

Dear teaboy or temp,

as you'll be opening this letter like a skivvy, I'd quite like you to put my CV in the "interview pile" and not the "bin". Therefore please find enclosed one copy of my CV and £50.

Cheers t*at face, you'll not be reading this bit, f**k features, lazy b*st that you are, I've spent hours on this letter...

Yours unsincerely,

The sagacious one

I find a couple of naked pictures usually helps, too.
