Useful advice
If you send the letter to several publishers, do not send him a General mailing. The presence of numerous incremental addresses is always visible to the recipient and makes a bad impression. Better try to learn the name of the editor to whom you are writing, and speak to him personally. This will demonstrate your professionalism and serious approach to business.
