The technique of writing email in English comes from your mind.

You should respect their language, English and write as polite as possible you can when Japanese, who is not good at English, send email to native speaker. It would show that you are good business man. We tend to think that native speaker write casual and broken English with their emotions, sometimes right, but as for letters, it is needed to control your emotions and with cool-headed for avoiding inexpert English. Keep in mind that international communication is not in high context. And be sure to add the reason to your email.
