Ayat 29. She (Queen of Saba) said: "O chiefs! Verily! Here is delivered to me a noble letter,

Ayat 30. "Verily! It is from Sulaiman PBUH (Solomon), and verily! It (reads): In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful;

Ayat 31. "Be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit to Allah with full submission)' " 

Tafseer of Surah Al Naml (The Ants) Ayat 29 to 31. (The queen) said: "Ye chiefs! here is delivered to me - a letter worthy of respect. "It is from Solomon, and is (as follows): ´In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful: Solomon expressly begins his letter with the formula of the true and universal Religion of Unity, and he invites to the true Faith the new people with whom he establishes honorable relations, not for worldly conquest but for the spreading of the Light of Allah. "´Be ye not arrogant against me, but come to me in submission (to the true Religion)”  

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah[SAWW](PBUH) said, The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Any matter of importance which is not begun with Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah) remains defective.''  [Abu Dawud Hadith # 4840].  

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Naml Ayat 30. “verily! It (reads): In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful” There is another Hadith to the effect that every important work which is not started with the invocation "Bismillah'' is devoid of Allah's Grace, it is desirable to begin every good work with the Glorious Name of Allah and His Praise.
