It does appear to be Portugese.  There are some online transation tools 
available but they differ in quality by languages.  I keep two bookmarked and 
try each one to see what comes out.  I'm sure there are more, but here are the 
links of what I use and what came out.

Google translator:  http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en&referrer=ign_n
	"First of all, I apologize, because if you have tried to convey"

Yahoo translator (babelfish): http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt
	"Before more nothing, I want to excuse itself, therefore vocês if it has 
strengthenn in transmitting"

Just copy and paste your the email into the translate box, pick the language it 
is in and what you want it to come out as and away you go!
