I was hired to teach conversational English in Japan. And I have to write a letter of introduction addressed to the entire staff of the school where I will begin teaching. I know that I should try to make it professional but friendly. I am looking for any tips on style, content, and length. I do not want someone to write this for me. I am just worried about what impression my letter will give my future co-workers. Thank you

Make it short and simple. Don't worry about 'professional'. Introductions in Japan are not for content but for contact; they are a social gesture.
