Send message to a non-friend facebook user?

I am developing a Facebook application. It must notify random people on Facebook about a certain event that happens related to them. I mean random people - not just those who installed the app, that's a key point.

Yeah I know it sounds like a spammy annoying application, but I swear, it's not that kind that everyone hates. :)

Is there a way to send anything (wall post? message?) to a user that did not previously installed the app?

It is possible through request dialog api: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/

It is possible, but only if you direct the acting user to the send message URL in a new window. If you are talking about an automated way, it is not technically possible at the moment.

No, that's not possible as per facebook's privacy policy. There should be some sort of connection like friendship/application user to do this.
