@Michael Delpier, thanks! 

You'll probably get what you pay for.You can also utilize done-for-you services like Michael Quarles' Yellow letters and Jerry Pucket's.Or, you can educate yourself on copywriting and try your own letter writing.A fourth option is to hire a professional copywriter with a successful track record.
