It's unlikely...unless our industries overlap considerably and the target individual - responsible for the site has been over pitched.

I gather what you are also saying is that a lot of target link prospects have already been asked (or even burned) by other link beggers.

This makes me want to do most of the persuading over the phone even more.... or at least first, before sending a tactical email.
