Help with Statement of purpose

Hi, I nned help with a Statement of purpose to study a PhD. I have a draft here, I will be grateful if it can be reviewd by anyone who has the expertise.

I am XYZ, a Doctorate applicant from Uganda. I hold a Master's Degree of Information Technology from AA University in Uganda, which I obtained in July 2011. I am currently employed as a Lecturer in The Faculty of Science and Technology at AA University. I would like to be granted a Doctorate position so that I can pursue my Doctorate studies in Computer Science with particular emphasis to Ubiquitous Computing at BB University in Germany.

My decision to pursue this program stems from three major reasons. First, is the current trends in mobile computing . As a developing country, there is need to know and embrace the technologies as well as demystify mobile computing. This Doctorate program I believe will allow me to be better placed in supporting the university and the country.

Second, in the University where I am employed, and in my country Uganda, there is an acute shortage of lecturers with a Doctorate in the field of Computer Science. By doing this program, I believe it will take me a step ahead in reducing the shortage of man-power in my University and the country, by being a more productive member of the University where I am currently working, therefore enabling me achieve my goals.

My third reason for choosing to study at BB University is because of it's international reputation as a center of research in Computer Science, and the reputation of the high qualified education system in Germany. BB University being an International center of research in Computer Science, means that I will benefit from the rich blend and outstanding quality of researchers and professors that BB boasts of, as well as have the chance to approach and experience one of the world's best education system.
I strongly believe that my decision to pursue my Doctorate at BB University is the best.

Finally, I would like to thank BB University for offering the Doctorate program in the cutting edge areas in Computer Science. I would also like to thank you for reviewing my application. I look forward to your acceptance.

Yours sincerely,
XYZ
