Why not?

I'd need their permission.

Dear Software Developer,

Did you know that you could be earning money every time someone downloads your software?
In fact, hundreds of developers just like you are already turning downloads into profits through partnership with SweetPacks.

My name is Limor Garten, and I am a partnership manager at SweetPacks (http://www.sweetpacks.com).
We create monetization opportunities from software installations through websites such as
CNET (Download.com), Softonic.com and MetaInstaller.

To find out about how you could earn money with every software download, please contact me directly at

Thanks very much,
