You are contacting potential end users about a .mobi you are selling. What is the best way to explain the benefits of .mobi?

Dear xxxxxxxx,
As the owner of the domain www.xxxxx.mobi I am informing you that I have decided to let it go.
The .Mobi extension is new and is the first โ and only โ top level domain dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile devices. .Mobi is revolutionizing the use of the Internet on mobile devices. .Mobi is designed to guide mobile users to made-for-mobile Internet content and services that can be accessed with confidence. With four mobile phones purchased for every one personal computer, thereโs a world of people whose main access point to the Internet is a mobile device.
.Mobi is backed by the most prominent mobile and Internet players in the world - Ericsson, Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Oracsom Telecom, Samsung Electronics, Syniverse, T-Mobile, Vodafone, and others.
.Mobi is poised to become the .com of cellphone browsers.
Even though .mobi is new, many big names are already taking advantage of it to deliver content to mobile browsers. Check out these current websites NBA.mobi, ESPN.mobi, yahoo.mobi, CNNMoney.mobi, BMW.mobi, KATC.mobi, UC2Go.mobi, just to name a few.

If you do not want to miss what could be your only chance of owning xxxxx.mobi, I am now accepting offers at sedo.com. (insert link).
Thank you,
Mr. xxxxxxxx

The rest of the letter is fine but the above wording sounds a bit clumsy and can be improved upon". How about;
"As the owner of the domain www.xxxxx.mobi I wish to offer you the oppertunity of aquiring this premium domain for yourselve."
OR;
" As the owner of the domain www.xxxxx.mobi I hereby offer you the oppertunity to purchase this premium domain from myself"
I dunno...just sounds better imo
"former semi-pro" huh ? ... Some pretty heavyweight pointers there. :hehe:randomo said:Perhaps a better first line (after the "Dear xxxxxxxxxxx,"):
Here is an opportunity for you to own the valuable domain xxxx.mobi - a great fit and a tremendous asset for your business. ... (In general, stress the benefits when you are trying to persuade someone to buy something.

Well, I did write ad copy as part of my job, but I was working for a not-for-profit membership organization ... so "semi-professional" seemed to fit!acc said:"former semi-pro" huh ? ... Some pretty heavyweight pointers there. :hehe:
WorldRadio.mobi said:I have been recognizing the overall opportunity of emailing businesses for the sale of some of my Dot Mobii domains. My largest domain sale ever resulted from a Google business search email campaign.. where I ask people to send in bids instead of giving them a quote..
Here is an example of a letter I was emailing out yesterday for IndianFood.mobi; although it is certainly not the path of least resistance, I feel it can be a learning experiece overall for everyone involved - about Dot Mobi.

Greetings
My name is Yelo. I am a domainer. I buy and sell internet real estate property..
There is a new domain name extension now for the mobile phone - Dot Mobi. Dot Mobi, only 6 months old, has developing compliance standards that ensure the site can be seen on the lowest end phones (which mostly exist today) and up with internet. This is clearly the future. ..as we are witnessing the mobile internet revolution.

With IndianFood.com (restaurants worldwide, cuisine of 1 billion people):
I am currently emailing people to take bids on the domain name here. I would lile to sell to the highest bidder, timely. Please feel free to send me a bid for the complete ownership and transfer of the domain name through Dotster. I can always let you know what the highest bid is currently; and, feel free to update your bid here, anytime.
I have decided that this name must go (if it's meant to be) because I am trying to raise some money asap for a conference I want to attend; so, if you or some people you know are interested, please hurry with your best offer.
I am also open for networking, feel free to contact me about anything anytime.
