I was waitlisted to a school I'd really like to attend. Any tips, resources, or examples (of strong letters of intents that have been successful? I really want to write a great LOI and would appreciate any tips.

School mission and specifics - mention how you fit and how it helps your goals. Mention exactly how you'd make a difference to them. Go into painful detail to show knowledge about the program and avoid fluff

I have a follow up question:
I sent in a LOI to my top school that I was waitlisted at post-interview. However, I just realized after sending the letter that I included my AAMC ID # instead of my AACOMAS ID #. Should I send a second email including my AACOMAS ID # or should I simply leave it as is?
