    Go with "Dear Dude/Dudette,"

    And finish with "Onya, that'll be grouse, Surfer Dude."

    Seriously, just address it "To whom it may concern," and chuck 3 business cards in the envelope with your introduction letter so whoever get it can pass them around.

    Greenie, I also would include a copy of your Third Party Liability Insurance as this is the first thing most of them want to know about. Most of mine want a minimum of 10million so if you don't have that amount I would suggest you up it to 10.

    Hi Greenie, Did you end up trying sending letters?

    If so, how did it go for you?

    Simmo.

    you can get aus post to deliver "unaddressed mail" in suburbs of your choice,

    last time i did it it was about 14 cents a pop

    thats for a folded a4 flyer (fold to DL size)


    in my experience tho, youre at the mercy of the mail deliverer, if they throw em in the bin youve got no hope

    i actually found that happening and auspost "investigated" it, by asking the posty did he deliver them, of course he said yes, else he would lose his job on the spot.

    i dont trust them anymore, but you could give it a shot and see what your numbers are.

    I've found unsolicitored mail to these sort of places gets no success. Better off phoning, finding the right person to talk to and follow it up with an email.
