I hire for our company and a cover letter is definitely helpful in choosing who to interview since a resume doesn't always give a lot of useful information that helps us.

I don't care about your intentions for working, of course it's money or experience or whatever.

But things like hobbies, travel experiences, location and relocation opportunities, etc all have a factor on if I choose to interview them and often a lot of that doesn't get included in resumes.
