How to write sales emails

Hi,
I wrote a sales email in English (for the first time!). Please brush it up or give any suggestion. (if this isn't the right place to ask, just tell me so. I don't mean to bother anyone.)

Hi, this message is to inform you of my translation service. Recently I've found that your hotel is introduced in "****," the most sold guidebook in Japan, and yet your website hasn't been arranged for the Japanese. As you probably know, most Japanese do not speak English and therefore, I believe, preparing the website in Japanese will benefit both you and your potential customers.

Since I am just staring up this business, I'd like to offer you the competitive rate of $0.** per word, limited from now until May 31, 2010. The good-quality is guaranteed. No need to pay if you were not satisfied.

If you are interested or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at ****.

many many thanks

Jim

Thank you for taking time, Dava. I appreciate you very much.

When I read your writing the difference is obvious while you are still on the same track as mine. (I mean, thankfully, you still use the basic idea for the writing) It seems like I need more and more experience.

Thank you again, I wish I spoke Portuguese.
Jim
PS. and thanks for the advice, too
