my personal beliefs and ethics are in line with those of this company. I look forward to having a job where I can put my heart and soul into advancing the mission of the organisation and being the best representative I can be for X. Given the increased stability and happiness that this position would offer me, I can spend my time concentrating on how best to make Y a better product and focus on providing excellent service to your clients.

Over the past Z years, I have worked in organizations that I believe in, and ones that I do not,it is time for me to concentrate my energies on the things I do well, and I believe that company X will provide me with the best opportunity to learn and grow as a Q.

X is the name of the company.
Y is whatever the company does/makes.
Z is your number of years in the workforce.
Q is the title of this position.

Be prepared for the next big question: where will you be in 5 years? Then spin something like, "in five years, I plan to (name the assistant to the person you will be working for's title) and this experience will set me up perfectly for that." unless you have something bigger in mind.
