I would like to write him a thank you letter in Japanese, hopefully something like what follows:
青木さんへ
青木さんからの贈り物を父からもらいました。とても気 に入りました！
親切にしてくださり、ありがとうございます！大切に使 わせていただきます。
[私] より
Would this be correct, grammar-wise and formality-wise?
So, this man is someone I have never met, and someone my dad has met only twice...
Thanks in advance for any help =)

「さん」 would be too casual; Use 「様（さま）」.
You cannot use 「もらいました」 because it is not your father who gave you the present. He just handed it to you. I would use 「受け取りました（うけとりました）」.
The whole last line is just marvy.
