Your letter is very general, and lacks any sparks that would set you apart from other applicants.
The degrees "master's" and "batchelor's" are American English. Please check that the punctuation and style used in the country where you are applying.

AlpheccaStars, is it correct to use "especially" instead of "specially" in this sentence "as a student, I always have had a great performance and I am always ready to learn new things, specially those ~~ones~~ which represent a challenge for me"?

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in applying for the master’s degree programme in Interaction Design starting in the autumn 2011 semester. I have a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design and a specialization in Electronic Commerce. Taking this in consideration, I think that I really match with the requirements of the programme and they can help me to get some good results as student.

As a student, I always have had a great performance and I am always ready to learn new things, especially those which represent a challenge for me. On the other hand, my work experience has been related to technology and design. I have been involved in many projects which require planning, design and development of interactive environments. For Example, I am working now in the second version of a successful touchscreen system designed by me, called “Speeron Check-In System”. This application is for hotel guests to perform the check in process for themselves. Due to the success of the design and the application, there are already several orders to hotels in Europe and Latin America.

The reason for choosing this specific master's programme comes from its great potential. I really believe that, thanks to Interaction design, people can socialize, communicate, learn, explore, achieve their targets in a new, better and improve way than ever. That is really amazing and I want to be part of it. I have many ideas and I want to create interactive digital products that implement them. Unfortunately, I do not have the right knowledge and tools to put them into practice and this is why I know this programme would be a perfect starting point for me. Plus, if I will get selected, I would be learning in one of the best in this field in Europe. Besides, I will have the opportunity to develop myself in an international environment giving me the privilege to meet new people with different points of view. That would be very enriching experience for me.

I am very conscious about the level of dedication and perseverance required to achieve the best result. I truly believe that I can earn this master's degree giving the best performance. My background and experience can give me the necessary tools to qualify for this master's programme.

I hope will you consider my application and you will view me as a favorable candidate for this programme. I will be waiting patiently,

With respect,

I've made some alternate phrasing suggestions and questions in italics.

--Dear Sir or Madam,
I am
writing to express my interest in applying for the master’s degree
programme in Interaction Design starting in the autumn 2011 semester. I have a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design and a specialization in Electronic Commerce.
Taking this in consideration, I think that I really match (am a good fit for this programme) with the
requirements of the programme and they (who?) can help me to get some good results as student.

As a student, I always have had a great performance (marks, grades?)
and I am always ready to learn new things, especially those which represent a challenge for me. On the other hand, my work experience has been related to technology and design. I have been involved in many projects which require planning, design and development of interactive environments. For example, I am working
now on the second version of a successful touchscreen system I designed ~~by me~~, called “Speeron Check-In System”. This application is for hotel
guests to perform the check-in process for themselves. Due
to the success of the design and the application, there
are already several orders from hotels in Europe and Latin America.

The reason for choosing this specific master's programme comes from its great potential. I really believe that, thanks to Interaction design, people
can socialize, communicate, learn, explore, achieve their targets in a new,
better and improved way than ever. That is really amazing and I
want to be part of it. I have many ideas and I want to create interactive
digital products that implement them. Unfortunately, I
do not have the right knowledge and tools to put them into practice and this is why I know this programme

I hope
will you consider my application and you will view me as a
