Something Original!
When it comes to mailing a safelist you HAVE to be original. These people receiving your email are more than likely members of twelve other safelists and read, time and time again, the same message from many others promoting SFI. This is something I noticed upon getting involved w/ SL's.
If the platform offer the ~ fname/lname ~ option Use It!
People love being addressed by their first name. Sir or Madam is too "businessy" and make people feel uptight almost instantly. I know, myself, the second I read sir/madam I think to myself "oh great, what's your pitch?"
Make sure you include main points like:
1) We are international
2) SFI is backed by it's parent company that's been around since 1985
3) Will ALWAYS be free
4) You are not limited to your sponsor for support. We have a support team/forum/stream/etc
5) The Internet Income course and a few of it's eye-catching chapter titles
Most importantly is be yourself. These are people you are sending to, not just an email address. If you are able to send in HTML format include your picture. You'd be surprised how much of an increase you will see in your click-through rate!
Lastly, keep it short and sweet. You don't want to drone on and lose your reader or instantly turn them off of reading in the first place. Two-three paragraphs max of no more than five lines per is an ideal length.
Hope this helps and happy writing!
