Good idea on sending a letter

I go one step further, and it works everytime, so much so, that friends come to me to write letters:
Using the power of the web/google, I check out the CEO's background, education, interests etc., and incorporate some of that knowledge in the letter
I always start on first name terms and make sure that the letter is meticulously keyed, using all the disciplines that a secretary would use.
I always frank the letter, not stamp it, so that it looks as though it comes from a business address.
When the CEO gets it, he/she's not at all sure that it's not from somebody he/she knows personally or in busines, and could well be a valued contact.
I get handled with kid gloves, everytime!
