You should certainly mention that taking a few modules in finance sparked a genuine enthusiasm for this subject. You have to really decide in your own mind why you are attracted to finance and try to convey this in an honest way. Are there any particular companies that impress you- if so- research them and include some of this content e.g. I am impressed by how X approaches the aspect of Y and I am looking forward to learning more about this element during my studies. Does the master's course involve an independent project, if so, what would you like to study. And finally include something about the finance department you are applying to- are they involved in research, do they have any particular strengths that you say attracted you to apply to them. At the end make sure you get a friend or relative to check over you statement. If you don't trust anyone try a company such as Editangels who will only charge a few pounds/dollars for the service. They have great free advice onpersonall statements also so visit their website.
