Can a consulting cover letter be longer than one page?

How long should a consulting cover letter be? I keep hearing that I should use three examples, but I'm finding it hard to fit everything onto one page without cutting something useful.

Ian’s Answer

The cover letter should be 1 page and should include either 2 or 3 examples. These need to be directly related to the "themes" of what the company looks for (i.e. qual/quant skills, communication skills, leadership, etc.)
