There is no gramatical mistake in your sentence, but I suggest dividing into 2 sentences.

"But first of all, please forgive me for my terrible writing. It might be difficult to understand due to my bad English."

Try to avoid to start a sentence with a "but" Just write, please forgive me for my terrible writing because it might be difficult for you to understand due to my imperfect English.

This is my rewriting. I hope it will be helpful.

"To start with, please excuse my poor writing you might find difficult to understand due to my bad English".

I wonder if this 'un is OK...
