Send private message to a list of people

My bot is going to send a private message to a list of people who are accepted. I want to type in a command that sends a message to everyone in the .json file. I have tried with a loop, but can't get it to work.

I am thinking of this to be the json file:

{
    "1": "Name#0001",
    "2": "Guy#0001",
    "3": "Person#0001"
}

This is my index.js or main.js:

var ytLinks = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./ytvids.json', 'utf8'));

if (args[1] === 'send') {
  const userValues = Object.values(acceptedUsers);
  var userList = '';
  var i;
  for (i = 0; i < userValues.length; i++) {
    userList += userValues[i];
  }
}

something.json:

{
    "1": "Name#0001",
    "2": "Guy#0001",
    "3": "Person#0001"
}

index.js:

const obj = require('./something.json') // require object from file

// execute function on each entry (user tag)
Object.values(obj).forEach((tag) => {

    // find each user via tag and send DM 
    client.users.cache.find(user => user.tag === tag).send('This is a DM') 
});

Be careful, too much mass DMing can lead to problems with Discord's Terms of Service
