First, you did the right thing putting the copyright and website on all the photos. That is the best thing you could do as it at least will be known where the images come from and who the belong to.

Sadly, there is nothing that can be guaranteed 100% effective. You can send a letter as you suggest but it is far more effective to simply send them a bill which includes the license and your terms.

Each website may respond in one of the following way:


Accept the license and pay you (usually after they consulting their lawyers)
Remove the content (occasionally along an apology)
Ignore you completely


In the case of (3): You can send a registered letter with CC to a law-firm. This has some chance of working for companies based in your country but very little elsewhere.
