I am Mr. Sawai. I come from America.
I am an employee of (the company called) Sony.
I'm looking forward to (working here/dealing with you).

This is a strange Japanese text, even though the requester calls himself "nihonjin" because two very different Japanese words are being used here which mean "I," and these two words would not be used back-to-back in the same situational context...

Note:
The last phrase, translated above as
"I'm looking forward to (working here/dealing with you)."
actually has no literal English equivalent. It literally means:
"Please be kind to me."

Could the last sentence be translated as: "Nice to meet you"?

Sure, that would be a good substitution, suitable for this context. If a phrase doesn't exist in the target language, we can safely use something else that would suit the context, in my opinion.
