Assist on marketing letter for "Nuisance" property list

[John Sheldon]

I've recently started a direct mail campaign targeted at "nuisance" properties.  Properties that have received Nuisance Citations from the city. Although I've had  success with previous mail campaigns over the years to different lists, I have not gotten a single call yet after almost 200 letters.  So I am thinking that it must be my letter itself.

So, I am looking for assistance from a-far from others who may be marketing to a similar lists and are having success with their letter. Thank you in advance for some help on this.

Hi @John Sheldon,

Dont take it personally, but I had to laugh at your question.

Here's the situation - there's someone out there that doesnt bother to take care of a valuable resource - the real estate that they own. The situation is so bad that law enforcement has stepped in. 

And then, you expect this person to respond to a letter.

Does anything about your expectation seem unrealistic?
