Create individual messages with Apple Mail

I'd like to be able to send a message to a group of from my CONTACTS and be able to address each person by first name (from the CONTACT record.)

Something like:

Dear xxx,

Etc etc

Each recipient would get the same message but with his/her name where the XXX is in the greeting.

This is similar to a word processing program's Mail Merge feature.

Is there any way to do this with Apple Mail?
