Hi Redgalland10,
What I would suggest first is to get together a list of the celebrities you want to contact first. That way you will be able to ensure you mail all your "favourites" first!
Then write your letter. I personally type all my letters on a word processor because for me it is much neater and much quicker!
Try to keep your letter brief but factual. Explain who you are collecting for, and what you expect to be able to do with the proceeds of your auction. Write a little bit about yourself if you like, but try to keep your letter to around 10-15 lines and a maximum of 1 page.
Finally don't be afraid to ask for what you want. If you are only collecting signed photos, then ask for signed photos. In my collection I ask for signed memorabilia or photos, which leaves the scope open a bit for other things like t-shirts, dvds, books etc.
Make sure you explain it is for an auction and then the celeb will not personalise the autograph to you, (otherwise you will have problems selling it!).
I hope this info has been helpful to you, but if you have any other questions, please ask!!!!! And don't forget to let us know how you get on!
