Please correct my motivation letter!

I am applying for a master programme and I am asking for your help in correcting my letter. I am not sure how specific it should be (by this I mean explaining which techniques... you will see). I must say, my letter is VERY SHORT due to the application's requirements (only one page!).
Thank you in advance.

Admission Committee of the XXX Master
University of AAA

Dear admission committee:

With this letter I would like to present my candidacy for the XXX Master.
This year I finished my Chemistry B.Sc. and now I just presented my thesis work about X&Y. The results will be explained soon in a research paper. I would like to continue my studies in a master program in order to pursue a career as a researcher, which is a major aim in my life, and since I learned about [Name of the Master] I believe it covers exactly this wish to keep learning.
I started to work in this field about two years ago and I am still fascinated by the exciting opportunities that membranes offer to us. Throughout this time as well as during my bachelor, I have performed extensive laboratory work and was trained in several analytical techniques, reaching in all cases a level of proficiency. I am thoroughly prepared for this type of tasks as well as for working in a large team and conducting successful investigation. I would describe myself as a responsible, perfectionist and tenacious person who can achieve large goals in a given time.
Additionally, I have been training my teaching skills by working voluntarily as a professor assistant for one year, so next semester I will teach the lab course associated to Analytical Chemistry 1 by myself.
Moreover, as an undergrad student I always kept an excellence profile which led me to several achievements, such as being awarded with the YYY Scholarship. This grant allowed me to spend an exchange semester at the RRR University. Adaptation over there was quite easy due to my multicultural background: I was raised bilingual (German and Spanish), learned English at early age and have studied French for three years. The international exchange experience gave me the chance to broaden my horizon regarding technology and future education, as well as the possibilities of getting the best of other cultures in order to help my native country, especially concerning the development of basic science.
I am greatly motivated to study in Europe because of the interesting syllabus you propose for this master program, particularly the section about nanoscience and nanotechnology; it is truly the direction I want to follow in my career and I am sure I will do a great job.

Yours faithfully,

ABCD
