2nd mail, to absentee owners. Need advice

On my first, mail I sent out 200 letters and got one call, this lady told me if I buy house 200 miles away from me in a place that is a rural area, told her I would have to look into that. I mean, I could find an investor that works in that area and wholesale the deal to him.

Month later...

Now on my second mail sending and hitting the same 200 list, but I feel like my message is not right. This is what I'm saying (I put a penny outside envelope) 

"This Penny Might Not satisfy, but Can it help?

Hi my name is Alejandro Flores, I'm a Real Estate Expert specialize on helping people getting Rid of their UNWANTED Properties.

I know the struggle of handling tenants. Getting that late call asking YOU to fix up the clog up toilet. Yeah, not so fun, RIGHT !?

That's Why give me a call or text to give you a FREE Amazing FAIR CASH offer. "

  • I print this close as possible handwritten
  • Use a yellow paper
  • Envelop is 4x6 with bright color
  • I hot glue a penny outside the envelope (distinguishing my letter from the rest)  
  • I put a 49 stamp unique and a 21 cent stamp (21 cents is for the machine to not rip the penny out of the envelope) 

Any advice would be great.

@Alejandro Flores "Here's a second penny to help pay 2016's property taxes!" At least you've got a theme with the penny, you have to build your brand somehow.
