参考范文
As we have more communication with foreigners, we should pay more attention to the differences in body language.
As we can see from the table, women in China often walk hand in hand, which is not common in America. By contrast, Americans usually don't stand close to each other and they barely touch each other, especially for people of the same sex. Also, Americans think it rude to put out one's tongue, but Chinese people often use this body language when they are embarrassed or ashamed. Furthermore, Chinese people will pat a child on the head if they like him, and Americans do so as well when they want to express comfort or encouragement.
In a word, differences do exist; only by fully understanding the differences in body language can we communicate appropriately.

One possible version:
Dear Robert,
In China, we wave our hands to say “hello” or “goodbye”. We usually greet our guests by shaking hands with them. Some people may nod and smile instead of shaking hands. When you are introduced to a Chinese group, they may greet you by clapping their hands.
Like in many countries, we nod our heads to say “yes” and shake our heads to say “no”. People will hold their thumbs up to praise a person if he does something great. Sometimes, we bow to show great respect and thanks to others.
I do hope the information will be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
