I mostly use what was suggested by DotWeekly, as that is what made most sense to me. I try to customize each email depending on the domain and the particular enduser. Here is a sample:

Quote:
Email Subject: Domain.com is for Sale

Dear XXXX (do your best to direct this to the proper person),

The domain Domain.com is for sale.
[paragraph setting out the asking price and how to purchase - something like this]

Quote:
The current buy it now price for Domain.com is $xxxx. You can visit the domain name's listing page here
http://www.sedo.com/search/details.p...ain=domain.com which is a 3rd party listing service that I like to offer as they handle domain payment, transfer of the domain name to your account and safety and security for both parties. Alternatively, I also use an escrow service (Escrow.com) which also handles all of the above if that is easier for you.
[paragraph setting out reason why they should purchase the domain. Ideally, tailor it to the specific company. Otherwise, here is something pretty generic.]

Quote:
The reason behind our asking price is due to the generic nature of the domain name Domain.com that matches very well with what people search for and know already. On the internet, it is Key to have a domain name that matches what people already search for and know, is clear and easy to spell, makes sense and is to the point. Domain.com is all this and more.

I look forward to working with you and if you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask.

Best Wishes,
As I said, I'm just starting to try this out, so I'm sure there is scope for improvement with this letter.
