How to begin a formal letter

I am new to this forum and I am very grateful for information presented herein. I am working in a law firm in Slovakia and have to deal with foreign companies and persons. When writing a formal letter I have a problem how to write a formal introduction with the meaning " I am writing to you as a legal representative of the client....". I have been using the expression "I address myself to you as a legal representative ...". Is it right?
Thanks a lot

Hi,

Start with 'Dear Professor Smith,'.

Then remind him who you are.

Then say why you are writing.

Then thank him.

Just write a draft in the words you would use if you were talking to him face to face. Then post it here, and we will help you with comments. OK?

I think it would be better if you both wrote separate letters.
