I feel that it should be clear, concise and straight to the point...
Too mnay big words also no point if it beats around the bush.

A cover letter shouldn't be too long. If you can't write simple english that attracts the reader's attention, what makes you think big words can?

It just need to differentiate yours from others to encourage the recruiter to read your cover letter completely.
