      Arial is not terrible (and probably better than Times),




I'd disagree on both counts. Arial (like Helvetica) is not great for body text of multiple paragraphs. If it's a short letter, you could get away with it.

If this is an unsolicited promotional piece, then you may need to look professional but also try to catch attention. If it were to people who know you, then you could be more conservative.

What sort of service are you offering?
