1) And for those who don't know me, I am Greg.
2) And for the people who don't know me, I am Greg.

Can someone please tell me which of the above two sentences is natural? It would be great if you could provide any alternatives for these. (Is this sentence OK?)

Hi Daemon,

Both are fine. You could make the first one a little more informal by saying 'for those of you'.
