I am very grateful to you for allowing me to take up your time despite your busy schedule.
(From our discussion in the meeting the other day) I am sending the testimonial from ◯ company for the concert details that are to be distributed in the newsletter.
Although I already had it translated by native speakers, I would be very grateful if you would check it for me, just to be sure.
Also, for the programme on that day, can I have you include the German and Japanese version of this testimonial together with the collaboration of ◯?
I sincerely look forward to meeting you in November.
Thank you very much.

Just a few things to note:

1. 推薦文 = testimonial, not introductory draft.
2. お送りいたします is the humble form (謙譲語) of 送る. So in this letter, the speaker is politely telling the reader that he/she is sending the testimonial.
3. Please be sure to double-check the capitalization of words such as German and Japanese.
4. "translated by the natives" is phrased awkwardly. Perhaps you intended to convey something along the lines of "translated by native speakers"?
5. Finally, please pay proper attention to your sentence order. Directly translating sentences in the same order they appear in Japanese often yields strange-sounding English. Sometimes it helps to just reread your English prior to submitting it. If it sounds strange at all to you at the time, it's definitely going to sound strange to the reader as they probably doesn't understand a lick of Japanese ;)
