First problem is the name Samsung. This sounds like an electronics
manufacturing=20
company, not an Internet Service Provider.

Second problem. It sounds like you only have 5 data centers and 30 PoPs
in the
USA. This is not very big.
I suspect that you were referring to a different country but the only
place in your
message where you give a clue to the identity of this country is here

Some people are smart enough to translate +82 into Korea, but when you
are trying to sell something, such as a peering opportunity, you should
make sure that nothing can be misunderstood.
I suggest that you write a new letter. Start by telling people that
although
you are owned by one of Korea's major electronics companies, you also
operate a major network covering all of South Korea. And then ask them
for peering.
