I want to thank my future employer for offering me the job. I know there are a lot of example letters on the internet but my situation is different. I accepted the job 2 weeks ago via a recruitment company the requirement company just got back to me today with my employer's details.
Any ideas how to start the letter? Will it be a good idea to Apologize for the late contact as i just got hold of his details?
Examples would be appreciated
This is what i have at the moment.

To them, this is in one ear and out the other. They're actually in the mood to thank you for being able to help. Best thing to do is show your appreciation by solving their problems.

Naw, I think it's a nice gesture. Sure, for a big company it may not matter much, but it cant hurt. Make sure it sounds personal so it doesn't come off as a template mail you found on the internet.

In my experience (in the US; YMMV) it would be unusual to send your future employer a plain thank-you letter. So if you want to send a thank-you letter, you need to bundle it into a letter that accomplishes some other purpose.
You've already accepted the job (via the recruiter), according to your question. So the purpose of this letter isn't to accept the offer, and the "pleased to accept" part of your draft letter might confuse them. But you can use this letter to ask a question that needs to be answered before your first day, as hinted at by the end of your draft.
Consider something like this:
Hi John,
I'm looking forward to joining $company as a $position. I've just received your information from $recruiter, who told me to arrive at your office on $date at $time. Is there any paperwork I need to complete in advance, or anything special I need to bring with me on that day?
Thank you for the opportunity. I look forward to working with you.
This letter confirms the important details, accounts for the delay (if that was a problem) without apologizing, and pre-empts problems like you not knowing that you needed to bring your passport for identity validation (that's just an example).
