i've also tried

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style/css/emailFormat.css" type="text/css"  media="screen" />

but it not work too. how the right way to add css on to this page. Thank you

CSS classes are ignored by email clients. If you are using standalone clients like Outlook Express, divs will also not be recognized (dont depend on float:left).

I suggest you to change your HTML page like -

Drop everything outside the <body>...</body>
Use <table> instead of <div>
Dont use <style> tags to define style-classes, or .css file to load styles. Instead use inline css like style="...." inside the <td> / <table> containers.

Hope this helps you in email template designing.
