Letter Writing

Need help writing a letter...Please

I am trying to write a general letter to someone. I am trying to locate my fiance's father. I have several different addresses, because I am not sure which one is the right person. How do i go about wording a letter, asking the person if they are the father of my fiance. Basically I either have the right person, or the wrong person. I wanna say something like "if your not so and so, then disregard this letter....or if you are so and so, then please read on"....or something like that. Im terrible at writing, as you can see. I just wanna ask them if they used to live in Arizona and was married to a woman named ***, and had 2 children named ***, and ***. The reason I am looking for my fiance's father, is because he has not seen him in probably over 10 years, and currently my fiance is in prison. He is gradually chaging his life around, and talking with his father will maybe close a chapter in his life, or open a new one. I just wanna ask that if this is the right person, if they could please contact me, whether they want to talk to their son or not. At least then we will know whether to try and contact them again or to just leave them alone..
I know it sounds confusing, but Im sorry......
Basically I need a letter to a general someone, long lost father....
Help!!!

Hi, You were actually doing quite well. Just write the letter in a "cold and impersonal" manner and then see what happens. Make sure you don't release any personal information.

Should I re word anything?

Dear Mr. Schmo:

The purpoose of this letter is to inquire if you are:

-Joe Schmo who lived at Phoenix Arizona between dates X and Y
-Married to a woman named Jane Doe
-Jane had two kids Kim and John

The reason for asking if you fit this identity has to do with X (give a reason, even if it is an oblique or indirect reason).

Thank You for your help......
I dont know the exact dates that this person lived in Arizona.

I dont really want to say what the main reason is for me trying to contact this person....at least not just yet. But then I dont want them thinking that something could be wrong or something.

Should I put a phone number for them to contact me, or just my mailing and/or email addr

This is going beyond English help, but I would NOT use my phone number. And if you don't provide a good reason to contact you, they won't. Who wants to open themselves to a potential "nutcase"? The world is full of weirdos out there. So you have to let them know why contacting you is safe.
