is this spam?

I was wondering, and maybe someone here can tell me what they think.
let's say, hypothetically, I come across this really good TGP or LL. I check it out and see that they have lots of galleries and maybe even some banners for the type of content I have in my program. Now I know that their site and my sites would make a good match, and i am pretty sure they are unaware that I exist or that they are not signed up as an affiliate to my program.
Is it spam to just go ahead and send a friendly e mail inviting them to look at our program to see what we offer?
now what it is is 100 TGPs/LLs or 1000? Does that make a difference if i am taking the time to send each mail out individually. I am not talking about harvesting e mails and sending them all out at once with some bulk e mailer program, but actual individual e mails out to individual sites owners. I would really like to hear as many opinions on this as possible.
Thanks
Jim
