"Dear Homeowner,
We have just begun our search for a home in XXXXX. Fortunately there are many similar 4 bed houses with beautiful period features. However, XXXX Road is particularly appealing to us as the name reminds me of living in XXXX village as a child. If you are considering selling your home in the near future (either through an agent or privately) then we would be very grateful if you could let us know on .....

I'm considering handwriting this on 40 cards tomorrow. It will take a couple of hours but will hopefully look more serious (plus my printer is broken), then posting them through the doors in this street. I saw some posts on here a couple of months ago about leaflet dropping, with some posters very enthusiastic and others less so. I currently live in an area where I typically bin touting letters from estate agents a couple of times a week, but wondered if this more personal approach would be viewed differently or would somehow seem to be intrusive. And would people think I was strange for preferring this street just because of the name? I don't mind wasting a bit of time having a go at something, but don't want to annoy people.
I actually tried leafleting in a different area earlier this year, but only posted ten and wasn't surprised to hear nothing, especially as it was in an area where the market is slow and people rarely move (which has since made me rethink my search there due to the fear of having a hard time reselling in the future, hence my change of search location).
Opinions/ advice welcome please!
