All of the above.

Compress the file (zip it up).
Send it first thing in the morning and call to make sure it was received.

I type a personal comment about why I am forwarding that specific e-mail to that specific person.
Only when they e-mail me and ask me for information.
When I know they can use my service.
When I know I can save them big bucks!
Anytime - that's called cold calling
