Sending a letter to owner occupant (of a distressed house)

[Deanna Coutts]

I've been marketing up here in Island County, Washington outside Seattle. I send letters to lots of Non-Owner occupied folks through driving for dollars and I find plenty of distressed homes vacant. Problem is, there are a few where the home owner is supposed to be living there. The only thing I can do is send a letter to the address and hope someone picks up the mail. 

What is a good note to send? I was thinking along the lines of:

"Dear Blank,

I was in the neighborhood and I saw your house at (address). I am looking for houses like yours and would like to buy it.

Please call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx as soon as you can.

Talk Soon,

(Signature)

(email)

PS It'd be great to hear from you even if you don't want to sell right now."

Does anyone have a tip on making it better? I want to keep it as simple as possible without sounding intrusive. If this note works just fine please let me know. I value your opinion.

P.S. I am mainly a wholesaler. I'm always looking for buyers anywhere, (In Whatcom, Snohomish, King County, Pierce counties or anywhere) interested in investing in a growing military community like Oak Harbor. 

Thanks!!

Here is my sample letter that I send.  It seems to work well.  I use a handwriting font so it looks like its handwritten:

Dear John Doe,

My name is Paul Amegatcher and

I would like to buy your house at

123 ABC St,

Dayton, OH, 45410

Please call me at 937-xxx-xxxx

If you are interested in selling.

Thanks for your time,

I hope to hear from you soon.

Paul Amegatcher

(937)xxx-xxxx

Also I use beenverified to find alternative address if the county lists the vacant property as the property where the owner lives.
