Approaching a seller for a cash deal

Big Picture: Looking for the right approach to a distressed seller.  Lots of job losses and foreclosures coming in my market.  

This is what I put in several "white letters."  What do you think?  How can I give a better "value proposition" to a distressed seller?  

Mr. and Mrs. ____,

My name is Don Petrash, and I am in real estate. It looks like your house has been listed in foreclosure.

First, I understand this is a difficult time. You have to make the best decisions for yourself and your family.

If you are interesting in selling, I can offer to buy the property.

For more information, please contact me at the info below.

Sincerely,
