Message delivery system primarily for answering machines which provides a
realistic sounding recorded message containing an individualized personal greeting
which can be delivered onto one or more answering machines. This automated method
of delivering a recorded personalized information message via an automated dialing
system to automated recorders involves a series of steps of: forming a database
of first names, determining frequency of occurrence of greatest number of the first
names in the database; recording individual personal greetings to the first names
having the greatest frequency of occurrence and, playing the individualized personally
greeting without truncation onto answering machines associated with the first names
having the greatest frequency of occurrence. This system provides a preliminary
personalized greeting to the beginning of the generic message being delivered so
that the recipient believes the message is coming from a real person.
