I work in Japan. I am in charge of an Italian subsidiary of a Japanese company. I email to the Italian company for self introduction. sembra naturale?

Un po' strano

Here's a business formal version for your future reference:

Dear [Company B's Employee]

I am writing to introduce myself to you and your team. I am [Your Name] from Company A. I will be Mr. Z's replacement as the sales representative for your company and will be managing this account. (Note that Company C has a different account manager.)

I work out of Japan, but hope that we will be able to meet in-person one day.

Looking forward to working with you. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Your message is mostly grammatically correct, but confusing. How many companies are you talking about here? I have a hard time following which company is which.

Here is my current understanding:

"I am replacing Mr. Z as your company (Company A)’s sales representative in Italy.

I work from Japan and am in charge of Company B, which is an Italian subsidiary of Company C. I will email Company B (the Italian company) to introduce myself."

Is Company C (the Japanese company) your company? Or another Japanese company?

Also, you are in Japan, right? Where is Mr. Z, Japan or Italy?

Thank you for your comment.

Your understanding is correct, I am talking about three companies (A, B and C).

The company C is also our customer. C has many subsidiaries all over the world. However, I am in charge of only B (not C and other subsidiaries of C).

The point of my concern is “ sales representative in Italy” in the sentence.
Is the reader confused whether I work in Italy?

My co-worker have noticed that the reader get confused that I work in Italy as the agent of B company.
But I do not think so.

If you use your original version, some readers will get confused about whether you are in Italy or Japan. I think this should be a bit clearer:

I am replacing Mr. Z as the sales representative for your company (Company B?).

I work out of Japan and am now in charge of Company B's account. I will email Company B to introduce myself."

What do you think? Is my understanding correct?

Your understanding is perfect.
I wanted to inform to the customer (company B) that I am in charge of only company B, not company C. However, I should not have written “in Italy” at the last sentence to avoid misunderstanding.

I really appreciate your help.
