Here is my motivation letter, could you help me in making any improvements on it?
I really need your help, and thanks for your assistance.

Respected Sir/Madam,
My name is XX,a senior student majoring International Trade at China Jiliang University, and I appreciate this opportunity to provide further information in support of my application for the International Master's in XXXX at XXXX University for one-year program 2012-2013
The curriculum that I studied during past three years were XXXXXXXXXX
Actually, my goal is to become a diplomatic business economist. When I was a little girl my father told me that ‘Work for it, and you can be anything you want'. I was still motivated and inspired by the words once he said to me. In my university life I won the First Prize Scholarship, the Honor of Excellent Student and Extracurricular Scholarship with GPA reached XXX, grade in top quartile of all under graduating students at the faculty. Also I have obtained another degree, Bachelor of law, at China Jiliang University.
Aside from academic work, Varieties extracurricular activities always appeals me so much as well as given me an advantage in terms of coping with the challenges.(i.e., Students Union, business negotiation competition, badminton games etc.)and I had a working experience as an teaching assistant in Hang Zhou New oriental School. All of these actual experience in my university life contributes my enthusiasm and ability to benefit form the opportunities and challenges provided. By the meantime, these experience helped me develop leadership and teamwork skills, especially in terms of dealing and communicating with people.
In my college career, what I have learned is not only introduced me to new economic concepts and theories but broadened my perspective and gave me insights into the depth of Economic world. Due to the comprehensiveness of China's 'reform and open' policies economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its global position. Moreover economic phenomena are complicated and changeable, which include many uncertain factors. During these years of study, I always made great effort to look into economy problems more comprehensively and try hard to think about them from different aspects. Gradually, I become to focus my interests on the development of economics and I want to apply what I have learnt and what I interested in aid the development of the Chinese economy.
Although I have enriched my basic knowledge including a great deal of mathematics and statistics which provided me strong foundation for future professional career. when it comes to XXXXX problems seems still confusing to me. I am fully ware of only too well that what I have leaned as an undergraduate is far from enough. In particular, I must deepen my knowledge of real estate development and international business.
I have always dreamed about studding in Netherlands, a country with a long history of business development and is still paying great attention to its own economy. Being one of the largest economies, the Netherlands can certainly teach me a lot about the core spirit and the most fresh, useful techniques of business, thus enabling me to cope properly with most of the situations I may encounter in the future. I have carefully read the prospectus of Master program in XXXX, your university is more than perfect to help my further career with the excellent teaching facilities and staff.
For all these reasons, I strongly aspire to acquire a chance to study in XXXX University from where I could devote all my wisdom an enthusiasm to fulfill the dream of my life.
Thank you for your consideration.
XX
