Putting the blurb immediately after the salutation seems wrong to me; I'd add a bit of explanatory text first. Something like "I've recently completed a new book and am hoping you'd considering adding it to your portfolio", or something similar?
Also, address the person by name. "Dear Mr X" or "Dear Ms Y". Nobody likes to receive form letters.
