*Beginning of Body of Cover Letter*
I am writing to you to express my interest to work full time or to teach upper math courses in your department. I have a rich ten-year working experience in the mathematics field, and I have soaked myself in measureless perception in the mathematics area over the years.
My experience in totality has been extremely enriching and rewarding as I have put in a great deal of efforts in all my endeavors. Sincerity and hard work were the virtues that were inculcated in my character since the beginning, and as a result I never shied away from challenges. Learning on my own and sharing my knowledge with others has been most worthwhile, which I believe will work towards my advantage in the future.
To conclude, I have attached a copy of my transcripts. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.

So what do you think? How did you like the "soaked in measureless perception" comment? My thoughts: "are you applying for a role in a Shakespeare play?" If not, you need to "Keep it Simple" especially if you are applying for a mathematics position.
This cover letter is not the worst ever written mainly because there was no misspelled words, but there are some minor grammar challenges and a sense of wonder as to what the heck is the applicant talking about. Hello?.
This is an example of what not to write as a cover letter. Team work references and a progressive work summary can go a long way.
