How to create a two-letter email newsletter

I am trying to create flyers with two columns, but I am having problems with encoding because Outlook hates CSS.

I use tables to make them as simple as possible, but I want two separate tables on the left and right so that I can add data to it as I wish.

I tried using floatleft and right in two tables, but Outlook ignores this style.

I know that the two gray tables below are located in their own "holder" tables, but this allows me to duplicate the gray "data" tables when I add new articles.

<table class="all" width="auto" height="auto" border="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td height="504">

<table width="750" height="140" border="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="200" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#E6E6E6">&nbsp;</td>

    <td width="345" align="center" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#E6E6E6">&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="152" align="center" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#E6E6E6">&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="45" align="center" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#E6E6E6">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="200" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#E6E6E6">&nbsp;</td>
    <td align="center" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#E6E6E6"><font color="#111111" face="Arial Narrow" size="+2">DECEMBER NEWSLETTER</font></td>
    <td width="152" align="center" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#E6E6E6"><font size="2"><strong>#4 - <span class="orange">04.12.13</span></strong></font></td>
    <td width="45" align="center" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#E6E6E6">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<table width="750" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="75" height="50" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" scope="row">&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="600" rowspan="2" scope="row"><img src="http://placehold.it/600x200"/></td>
    <td width="75" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" scope="row">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="75" height="81" scope="row">&nbsp;</td>
    <td scope="row">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>


<table class="holder" width="750" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td valign="top" scope="row">

    <table class="inlinetableleft" width="360">
        <tr>
          <td width="371" align="left">    

<!------------LEFT COLUMN------------------>        

<table width="360" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <th height="103" colspan="4" align="left" valign="middle" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" scope="row">&nbsp;</th>
  </tr>
  </table>    

<!--------------LEFT COLUMN END------------->      

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="inlinetableright" width="360">
<tr>
  <td align="left">    

<!------------RIGHT COLUMN------------------>                   

<table width="360" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td height="106" align="left" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" scope="row">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  </table>       

<!-----------RIGHT COLUMN END-------------->       

</td></tr>
</table>


    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Here is the fiddle of my newsletter so far, these are the two bottom gray tables that I want to be near.
