Can some help me out....

I want to email several end-users to sell a few domains that I think they will like to have, but I'm not very good on knowing what to say.

Can someone that has experience in this give my some pointers, or a couple of lines you use to smooth over the end-users.. . Thanks, anything would be helpful.....

"Sample" of one I used recently:

Subject: XXXXXXXX.XXX - domain name inquiry.
To: email@xxxxxxxx.xxx

Good afternoon!
I recently registered the domain name, "XXXXXXX.XXX" when it became suddenly and unexpectedly available to register. My long-term plans are to develop the domain/site, and I am now seeking input regarding development options.
Recently, I came upon your site: http://www.xxxxxxxx.xxx during some of my research toward this end, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in acquiring this ".XXX" domain name to complement your site. Would this be of something of interest for you, if I had a fair and reasonable Asking price?
Though I treasure the domain name, my time commitments on other projects will likely force me to put these development plans on hold for the forseeable future. If you can utilize the domain to further enhance traffic and exposure to your site, I'd be willing to discuss the option with you. At your convenience, of course.
Thank you kindly for your consideration.

-----

Naturally, you have to modify your approach somewhat depending on the potential suitor, circumstances. The exact letter above has worked for me, and has not worked for me. Results will vary, persistency is key.
Hope that helps a bit.

Nice pitch CH.
From my experience I would change the "I recently registered the domain name" to something like " I am the current owner of "

Its a bit more personal and you won't come-off as a spec.

Nice Job!
