First af all, thank you very much for helping me or by spending time by reading this post. Let me introduce a little about myself, i got a chance to study a PhD at a university far from my native country, and this opportunity is very important to me, it could seal my professional fate, so i don't wan to screw at all. I just got out of the masters degree, and this is the first time they ask me to make a motivation letter, and as far as I'm reading, its a key component. So if anyone can help me out i would be always grateful for the help. And as you notice, english is not my native language so writing a motivation letter in english is costing me a little bit, but hopeful ill pull this off.
I still have to mesh all this together, i have some ideas i wrote in my native language and used google translate for a quick view (still trying to build all this together), any comment or critique would help me a lot. Thanks!
So here is my first draft:
Respected Sir/Madam,
I, NAME, appreciate this opportunity to provide further background information in support of my application for entrance to the Ph.D. in Computer Science program at the University of X.
After finishing my masters degree in computer science, i found myself eager to follow my professional development in the area of computer science, so i decided i wanted to go to the next step, by studying a Ph.D., then my professor **** told me about an opportunity at the University of X, ...
// DRAFT
I believe that computer science have been gaining importance in the recent years, everyday we depend more and more on computers and I know that, because i was part of a that change. Since childhood, I always liked to share my hobbies with other people, teach them the wonders i encountered when i enjoyed something, so they could find that enjoyment too, like drawing pictures in the computer.

Being professional, I have been to show people to make easier their jobs using computational collaboration tools, and often I was pleased to see your face of satisfaction when they do use those technologies that were foreign to them, the same as I I have when I was the result of some problem with the computer.
I always liked solving problems, my taste in mathematics and in the computation have shown that in the course of my life. I apasiano the problem solving process, especially when one finds the result, sometimes the answer is in front of one, sometimes after many attempts is the result, and in the end, one is left with the satisfaction of having resolved.
For this reason, my studies reflect my personality in college, my studies focused on learning different computer herarmientas to help companies solve their problems in creative and effective, so sharing my pascion by the area of computer science with others.
In my Masters, I was taught to solve complicated problems and how they were to attack to solve them. I learned how to concentrate and focus on obtaining goals and objectives that ought to reach, by structuring my time and my activities in my schedule.

In conclusion I would like to say that I am eager to explore new experiences and places and in my opinion this program is the best way to achieve all of it. I am positive that the University of X is an excellent for continuing in my professional and life development.
Thank you for considering my application, Sincerely yours
