Note: I have (minimal) experience doing this.
I suspect a good way to do it might be the following:
First, send out a letter listing
a. When the event is
b. What's the high end of possible payment (in very general terms)
and make it clear that all that is being asked is if the receiver is
*not* interested, given that information.
You can send that letter to lots of bands at once; any that respond, you
can cross off your list.
Then, send specific offers to one band at a time, with deadlines for
responding.

A bookings etiquette question:
For a special contra event (weekend, daylong event), is it better to
ask performer's availabilities in serial or in parallel?
In other words, should one focus on one bookee at a time, only moving
on after a non answer, or a reasonable amount of time?
Or is it better to ask multiple talents at once, and then select from
those that responded?
Curious,
(and also curious if anyone's still on this list)
