Response. Always close out with an “open ended” question. Why?
Because it elicits a response. When you start, and then extend, a conversation, you’ll be well on your way to getting a participant in your project. End your contact letter asking the person to respond in some way to your inquiry.
Now, let’s put this all together. Let me give you a quick example letter that was written based on the formula that I’ve just given you.
Dear Nicole,
I was visiting your LadyPens.com site this evening (here’s hoping you hit the 10,000 article mark soon!) and I noticed that you give away free memberships for women writers.
I also am very involved in working with writers (it’s my passion as I can tell it is yours as well) and was wondering if you might be interested in working together on a simple project.
I’ve just finished a 24-page report entitled, “5 Steps To A Big-Profit, S.M.A.L.L. Report Business” that teaches how to create 7-15 page small reports to sell online. I’d like to offer you this free report to give to your members and subscribers.
At the end of the report is an advertisement for my Small Reports Wealth course and we can customize the report with an affiliate link so you would earn 75% commission on any sales generated by simply giving away the report.

Please let me know if you would be interested in giving this away to your contacts. I’ll be glad to customize it for you and set up everything on your behalf.
How close are you to your goal of 10,000? Maybe I can help.
Best regards,
Denise Milonie

Now, after explaining the benefits, it’s time to go find someone to explain them to!
