COLD CONTACTING NAMES FROM TEL. DIR - ADVICE PLEAS

Hi Thanks to advice on here, just found 12 people with the surname (Ronan) I'm researching for a pal, all living in the area of the early branches of the tree on I of Man.

Thought I would send them a letter apologising for contacting but asking if they are in the same family tree as one I'm researching.

Want to reassure them not looking for relatives to be in contact with and to offer them the tree I have going back to the mid 18th century. I'm wanting to fill in the missing links from 1901.

Any advice on how I contact them. Don't want to - but should I enclose a s.a.e.?
