help with crafting a letter to an owner

[Shawn Root]

Hi everyone,

There is a duplex, not a mile fom my house, that has been vacant for ten years. I looked up the tax records and have a name and an address. It looks like the taxes are a little behind. What kind of appeal would you make? I think there may be or may have been an estate involved. I think that the property was owned by an older gentleman who passed away in the last couple of years. I think that the son's name is the name on the tax website.  So....any toughts?  I'd love to hear your experience with these things.
