I decided to pursue a property that I referenced in a thread linked below.  I was hoping to get some suggestions regarding what to put in the letter.  Most specifically, whether or not to reference the neighbor connection between my relatives and his late mother. 

Any dos and donts for the letter?  Is handwritten a must?

Original thread

I truly appreciate any input you have to offer.

If you write you have no idea if the message got to the right person. Call and keep searching until you find the right person to call. Then see if you can work a deal.

 Our work is done here.  We've said make the call, more than once.  

@Account Closed If you're not going to make the call, I'd be happy to do it!
