Gmail is marking my emails as SPAM - Please help

email spam spam-prevention gmail spam-blocker

I do not see any big problem but Spamassassin is giving three hints on how to make the email look better:

you get 2.5 points for having an image and only a few words. Remove the image or increase the text length
you get 1.1 points for your formatting. Your Email is not correct HTML (e.g., is missing the <html> tag
you get 1.2 points because you are not sending from what you specify in SPF record

==========================================================
Explanation of the possible results (adapted from
draft-kucherawy-sender-auth-header-04.txt):
==========================================================

"pass"
   the message passed the authentication test.

"fail"
   the message failed the authentication test.

"softfail"
   the message failed the authentication test, and the authentication
   method has either an explicit or implicit policy which doesn't require
   successful authentication of all messages from that domain.

"neutral"
   the authentication method completed without errors, but was unable
   to reach either a positive or a negative result about the message.

"temperror"
   a temporary (recoverable) error occurred attempting to authenticate
   the sender; either the process couldn't be completed locally, or
   there was a temporary failure retrieving data required for the
   authentication.  A later retry may produce a more final result.

"permerror"
   a permanent (unrecoverable) error occurred attempting to
   authenticate the sender; either the process couldn't be completed
   locally, or there was a permanent failure retrieving data required
   for the authentication.
