There's no right or wrong way to do this - if it works for you, then
it works :)

The only thing I would strongly suggest is a check somewhere - if the
recipient has been sent an email already (perhaps within the last 30
days?) then you don't send them another one.

That way you're not open to being a spam bot.

Best regards,

Richard Davey
