Never ever place a salary requirement in a cover letter if the hiring firm did not ask for one!! There is no quicker way to shut a door and have it padlocked than asking for the wrong amount of money! Should a company ask for a desired salary, try something like, "presently, I am very open to all offers." If that does not work, tell them that you are aware that salaries fit a huge range right now and you will be glad to discuss in detail after you mutually agree there is a match.
Many candidates still think they will command the numbers from 3 to 4 years ago and this will not happen in the near future. Anyone who puts out unrealistic dollar amounts will be on the bench for quite some time. Utilize your best common sense!
