You cannot have a really professional appearing email address with a free email account such as, Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook.com no matter what you choose as your user name. However, I personally think that of the free providers, Gmail conveys the most contemporary image. I like a user name that is similar to what you would get from a corporate email account such as john.walker, jmwalker, or walkerj for example. I definitely agree with others that having the prefix mr. as part of the user name is not good.
Your own domain might be better, more professional, if it were well chosen.
I agree with others that qualifications and content of the message are more important. What's even more important than all of that is who you are sending it to and whether or not they know you.
