Dear Joan

Yes, you can use the Mail Merge feature of your email client, if it
has one.  I use Pegasus Mail, and it has the feature where you
can insert fields from a Tab Delimited file into specified areas
within a template letter.  Look under Tools > Extensions > Mail
Merge.  I'm sure Outlook Express has one too, tried it out once.

You create two files.  In one, you make a list of the reviewer's
name (first, last), email address, website address or any other
personal information.  The other is your letter template.  It may
be something like this:

= = = = = = = 

Dear ~1~

I'm a visitor to your wonderful website, ~2~ and wonder
if you'd review my new book on your ezine, ~3~

= = = = = = = 

The merged version of each email will insert the reviewer's
name in the space ~1~, his/her website URL in ~2~ and
their ezine's name in ~3~.

Indeed, this feature sends out SEPARATE messages to each of
the recipients with no added effort on your part.  So it will really
go out only to Sarah, and also individually to all other email 
addresses on your list.

But I don't think the SUBJECT line of your message can be
personalized this way.  Instead you can use a generic
title like "Would you please review my book?" 

>Saving Time is so important.

You can say that again :)
 
Hope this helps
