Hello
People don’t want—or need—to know everything about you.
If your correspondence focuses on anything besides the problem at hand, you run the risk of the prospect losing

Anything else just wastes their time and yours
All they want to know is how you can help them solve a problem they might be facing.

buy it.
• Forget the masses. Targeting the latter is too much like trying to win the lottery- though great when it happens (however unlikely), there are just too many damn variables outside your control.
