Note: I have (minimal) experience doing this. I suspect a good way to do it might be the following: First, send out a letter listing a. When the event is b. What's the high end of possible payment (in very general terms) and make it clear that all that is being asked is if the receiver is *not* interested, given that information. You can send that letter to lots of bands at once; any that respond, you can cross off your list.
Then, send specific offers to one band at a time, with deadlines for responding.
