Thanks folks. Go for it. As I type this I'm just opening another letter they have written to me  ;D

A small tip. If you are able,enclose a picture. I was told by them when they saw the picture they knew I was genuine. They had a copy of the exact same picture.
Cheers

One look at me, they'll be put off for life  ;D

Seriously, I don't think my intended recipients will have the slightest idea of any link at all so even if I have the right individuals, they could dismiss the whole thing as rubbish.

Same result if I don't ask at all so I might as well get on with it  ;)
