Your writing is much too focused on what you want, and not on what you have to offer the employer.
The paragraph beginning "I'm looking to switch jobs ..." makes you sound like a complainer. Yes, we have all felt that way at times, but it's not a winning way to present yourself. Never use your resume/cover letter to criticize other people, especially your current employer.
Can you see how the paragraph beginning "I am a very fast learner ..." is all about you and your requirements?
The paragraph beginning "I want to be part of ..." makes me especially wary. None of it is "wrong," but it doesn't offer any benefit to the employer, and comes across as unfocused and high maintenance. (Sorry - I assume you want the unvarnished truth.)
