Covering letter for small clothing store

Hey everyone.

I wish to apply for a sales assistant position in a range of small clothing stores (not high street). They do not advertise these positions online and you'd have to go in store to find out if they are hiring. How do I go about structuring a covering letter for these types of stores?

I.e. how can I say how I will be suitable for a position at their store? There isn't much information on their websites in regards to their current market position.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

James
