Thanks for the link, but this confuses me...

Original/Certified Passport Office Police Certificate for Beneficiary and a copy

Original/Certified Police Clearance Certificate and a copy

Do all countries need 2 forms of police certificate? What is the difference? Anyone know? :unsure:

The cover letter is something you type up. It's not mandatory. It's just basically to list the order of the documents to help the officer who reviews your package. Someone linked earlier to the sample cover letter. Just use that, but make sure you take out anything not applicable to your case.

It's just the civil documents you need a photocopy of (birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc). You don't need a photocopy of the DS-230, the passport pictures, or of the passport bio-data page.

That's only for the country of India, I believe. You just need a PCC (police clearance certificate).
