"The statement ...."

Which verb would fit the best to this sentence:

"This statement motivated/encouraged/spurred me even more to become a member of your team".

Maybe there is even a better option.

I need it for a job opplication (obviously:))

Of the three options, I would use "motivated" as the sentence stands. "Encouraged" means that you were timid about it before, and that is not a good message. "Spurred" means that you were lackadaisical.
