Two part question:

 

1. Where did you place that in the packet? 
2. Is there a sample?

By definition a cover letter is on the cover of the packet. 
 

the VJ immigration guide proves an outline for the cover letter.

Nope - if you send it all in one package.   USCIS usually will never see it. The contractor scans in each form and its attachments.  Then it gets bound up for cold storage.

That isn’t what VJ’s guide advises. If the guide was wrong someone would have surely asked the Captain to change it.  
 

Our lawyer did a single cover letter.
 

What benefits are you seeing to multiple cover letters?

The employee of the lowest bidder contractor is who you are putting this faith in?  You are sending it to a lockbox to be scanned not a service center.

VJ has a guide.  Follow it or not. Some  don’t and then they have some  problems.

Correct. As I wrote there is an outline.  It should be clear how to write your cover letter. If not, hire an attorney.
