Cover letters like this are about giving context for a series of
patches. As there is only one patch (1/1) in the series, the context
in the patch itself should suffice, so there is no real need for a
cover letter like this if there is only one patch.

When there is a real need for a cover letter though, the title of the
cover letter should explain what the patch series is about and "***
BLURB HERE ***" in the body of the cover letter should be replaced by
text that explains the context and the reason for the patch series.

Thanks!
