Cover letter to a previous employer?

I am applying for a job within a company I used to work for. How do I introduce this fact in my cover letter and what do I highlight. I am stuck. Thank you for your help.

You should first contact your previous boss at the company to see if they would be open to the idea. If so, then ask if you could send your resume to your former boss and he will forward it to HR. Otherwise, you should send a letter to HR that highlights your experience since leaving. For example,

Since resigning from ABC Company two years ago, I have enhanced my skills at XYZ Company. Based on my former positive experience at ABC Company I believe my enhanced skills would be even more beneficial to ABC.

You just say it directly.

"I am applying for the position of __________. I have [number] years of experience in [field]. I worked for [employer] as a [former position] from [year] to [year]. I am eager to return to [company] in this new field." etc.
