Also, move “to” as you should never end a sentence with a preposition.

I’d like to express my thanks, but I don’t speak or write Japanese. I’m guessing the “business” style letter is the way to go, but I don’t want to come across as cold and impersonal. Is it acceptable to use that format for a personal note as a non-Japanese speaker?
