Cold calling pre-foreclosure properties?

[Derrick Henley]

I would like some feedback on the best practice to cold-calling pre-foreclosure lists.  I recently purchased a list and want to start calling these properties.  Should I say to the property owner that I am aware that they are in foreclosure?  This may sound like a crazy question but I was wondering if I could get some ideas, a script or some advice on what to say.  Sorry I am a newbie!  Thanks for any advice.
