hey,
when sending a cv to an employer by email, what's best to put in the body of the email? is it basically the same kinda thing as a cover letter?
cheers!

i've always put:
Dear Sir/Madam (unless their name is stated somewhere),
Please find my CV attached for the proposed position (if i need to send a covering letter then someones i put that in the email itself after this sentence or as an attached file as well ).
Kind Regards,
Mr. blah blah blah
and then 'RE: whatever position i've applied for' in the subject heading so the first sentence makes sense. for example, yesterday i applied for an internship and in the subject heading i put "RE: TV Events Internship". but it told me to put that, so yeah...

Same as everyone else, I usually put what I'm applying for in the title and then say 'dear sir/madam please find attached my cv and cover letter. thanks for taking the time to read them, i hope to hear from you soon..' something along those lines.

I have always sent a covering letter with my CV.
Job Title etc.
Then something similar to this which you can adapt:
Dear (Whoever)
I recently completed a Degree at University in (subject) , and am now looking for a position of work.
Whilst studying I have held a part-time position with one Company, this has allowed me to gain experience, acquire new skills in a customer facing environment and been able to put these skills to good use. I am conscientious, competent and can adapt when necessary, and am very reliable.
Group projects while studying have given me the opportunity to share learning experiences in a team environment. This has taught me how important collaboration is in achieving a successful outcome.
I would be very grateful if you would consider my application for work and attach my CV.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
It's important to stand out!
I applied for one position with 200 others, I was one of six interviewed.
