I'm trying to put together a sort of generic or cold cover letter to not only post to monster, but to apply to companies that don't have jobs advertised, at least just to get their attention should a position open up.

This is what I have right now, but I really need to change the second paragraph, and I really want to tell them short and sweet what I can do for the company, but I'm terrible at wording things...or rather it takes me an hour or more just to compose a simple bloody sentence trying to convey what I can do, and to get their attention.

Re : EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

            As a recent graduate of the Electromechanical Engineering Technician program at Fanshawe College with concentrations in robotics and PLCs I have augmented a natural talent for working with the technical aspects of the world, and I excel in a fast paced, high stress environment that requires a great deal of multitasking and problem solving.

            Although I am a recent college graduate, my maturity, practical experience, and eagerness to enter the field of robotics will make me an excellent robotics technician. I would love to begin my career with your company, and am confident that I would be a beneficial addition to [INSERT COMPANY NAME].

            My resume provides a summary of my education, background and experience but I feel strongly that during the course of a personal interview my potential for making a significant contribution to your firm can be more fully demonstrated.

Should you require additional information please contact me at the above address or phone number. I look forward to your return response.
