Are Cover Letters Still Relevant?

To Whom It May Concern:

I am an experienced marketing professional interested in pursuing a challenging new growth opportunity with Wonderful Company. I have a degree from Top-Notch University and have worked for five years in a variety of positions. 

Enclosed is a carefully crafted and meticulously formatted resume[businessinsider.com] outlining my lofty awards and outstanding achievements. I realize someone in HR likely will run the document through a scanner and human eyes will never examine it. In light of that, I am writing to inquire as to whether I should even bother writing a cover letter.

Sincerely,

Ima Rockstar
