please follow me
Dear [Name of Editor],
my name is [Your Name], I'm [your age] old and work as [your job] in [your town]. I have [never published anything before / published the following stories and novels:]
Title of Short Story, Anthology, Year, Number
Title of Novel, Year, Publisher
Enclosed you will find [the first draft / treatment and first 50 pages / whatever] of my novel "[Title of Novel]". I would love to publish my novel in [your house], because the topic of my novel, which is [your topic], perfectly complements [your publishing program with this author and that author and their books X and Y].
Sincerely,
Your Name.
Since this seems not as obvious to some as I thought it would be: Do some careful research on the publisher you are sending your manuscript to. Do not write "your house" or "your publishing program", but the name of that publisher and the name or a description (other authors) that your novels fits in to. Replace all other placeholders, too (your name, name of editor, your age, your job, your town etc.). And don't just copy/paste this text. It is an example. I'll spell the basics out:
introduce yourself; give all the details that may be relevant to the publication of your text (if you, the author, are an interesting person, that may help sell your book, so let the publisher know that you scaled Mount Everest, worked in a jail, or are only 12 years old)
give your publishing history; if you have published nothing yet, say so (omit this only if your name is Stephen King)
state why you chose this specific publisher; why does your book fit them; why do they fit you
make sure you have the name of the right editor and address the letter to him or her personally; if necessary, call the reception and ask
include a stamped, self-addressed envelope, or a postcard where they can tick "we are not interested" or "call me at ...."; make a reply easy and free for them
The basic idea is: treat this similar to a job application. (Research job application, if you have no idea how to write a letter applying for a job, I was taking it for granted that you all know how to apply for jobs and wouldn't write "your house".)
Hope this makes my answer a bit more clear, folks.
