    I wrote this one, but I'm really not sure whether it's good or not!
    I would love if you guys could help me in terms of grammar, if the sentences makes sense, overall looking and if it's ideal to send to a restaurant!

    Dear Mr or Ms

    My name is Pedro Amaral and I’m a strolling magician! I have been performing magic for 4 years and working as a professional magician for 2 years, in restaurants, international hotels and at private and public parties in general.

    A Magician in your restaurant can be beneficial in many ways:
    .:Cover a delay in the kitchen
    .:Entertain guests while they wait to be seated on busy nights
    .: Develop word of mouth advertising as people begin talking about the magic
    .: Generate repeat customers as people come back, usually with friends, to share the magical experience
    .:Generate new business as I also do effective marketing to bring people into the restaurant
    .:Increase customer satisfaction as their stay is more entertaining and fun

    From me, you can expect a highly energetic, entertaining and funny style of magic, which is ideal for any entertainment venue.

    Specialities: Card magic, coin magic, impromptu magic and general walk-around magical entertainment.

    By the means of this letter I would ask of you the opportunity for a free trial night of entertainment in your venue, and I stress the point that there is no risk, no commitment, and absolutely no charge for this night of entertainment, just a chance for me to demonstrate what I can provide for your business.

    Sincerely,
    Pedro Amaral.

    I think its quite good actually, it reads well, is short and to the point, and eyecatching. Lets see what others have to say.

    Dorky the Magician

    PS: You see how I made the text disappear? I have a few other tricks that I can show you.
