Folks, My name is Elizabeth Harris and I’m a reporter at The New York Times. I’m working on a story about how, in competitive bidding situations, some potential buyers might try to tip the scale in their favor by writing the seller a letter. Generally, that letter will say something along the lines of: I love your apartment, please sell it to me! I’m looking for examples of these letters — both the good and the terrible. Have you received one as a seller, wrote one as a buyer, or encountered them as a broker? If so, please drop me a line at elharris(at)nytimes.com  (We will not need to include names or addresses in the story.) Thanks very much. Best,
Elizabeth
