Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
לֵאמֹ֑ר
to=say
The term saying introduces a direct quotation, but it is a quotation of what the king of Aram wrote in the letter, not something that Naaman said to the king of Israel. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and the letter said]

וְעַתָּ֗ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_brought the,letter to/towards king Yisrael to=say and=now just,as_comes the,letter the=this to,you see/lo/see! sent to,you DOM Naˊₐmān servant_of,my and,you,will_deliver_him from,his_skin_of,disease )
And now was an expression that speakers in this culture commonly used to introduce an important point. Sometimes, as in this case, they would use it at the beginning of a letter. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. See how you translated this expression in [3:23](../03/23.md).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
