    It's illegal under UK law to send unsolicited emails.
    Unless you've done business with a person before, you can't email adverts at them!

    It's illegal in many countries, including the US. You shouldn't be thinking of doing this anyway as you'll just get a bad reputation as a spammer and you'll also be wasting your money because you're very unlikely to get any sales from it. Paying for leads, email addresses, hits etc... is a big mistake and won't do you any good in the long term.

    It depends. Check how they got those leads. Maybe they opted-in on another site, and they know they will receive emails related to that. You could always do another opt-in on the list just to make sure, but you'll lose people who are too lazy to click on a link, but at least you get better quality that way.

    An email that says "Hi there, you wanted to be included in a list related to widgets. If this is true, then kindly click here. If not, just ignore this. Thank you have a nice day."

    Or something like that.

    You don't really want to get cheap leads either. The best way is to make your own list using your own site.

    Well I will tell you how this works
    1. Assuming you are based in US/ UK (where you cannot send spam emails)
    2. You purchase a list from some company (search google for email database and click on the ads on the right!)
    3. Then you post your project details on sites like elance / getafreelancer etc
    4. You get 10's of private message who are willing to brodacast your messages. They can do it from their countries (India, Pak, Russia, Romania etc) as spamming there is slightly easy.
    5. You get your job done.
    PM me and I will give you the full article source from where I learned all this.
