I am new to a Mac a I used to mail merge from Excel to Entourage very
easily.

Is this possible using numbers and iMail? I have about 30 customers.

Thanks.

Answer that question yourself:

1. Open /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.
2. Choose File > Open Dictionary.
3. Select Microsoft Excel from the list.
4. Click OK.

Numbers is not (easily) AppleScriptable, as other people have told you.
But if you were sufficiently motivated you could AppleScript it using
'assistive devices' AppleScripting, or you could extract the field
contents from the saved file.

Both Excel and Mail are AppleScriptable. Shouldn't be too hard to keep
your information in Excel.
