Keep up the good work. When do you expect to hold your auction?

Hi redgalland10 {up}

I'm sorry, but I can't really donate any of my collection to you as I am collecting for charity myself!

Why don't you have a look on the feedback section of the site and try to contact a few celebs for yourself? http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewforum ... 0d9d4ece8b

It's not difficult, and some celebs will even send you signed pictures if you email them.

One of the most popular ones at the moment seems to be Judge Judy, and you can contact her via her website HERE: http://www.judgejudy.com/Forms/tellit.asp just complete your details and ask for an autographed photo.

You can also contact Nick Faldo the golfer at: info@nickfaldo.com
or Roger Federer the tennis pro at: management@rogerfederer.com

Have a go with these and see how you get on. Also, have a look on the feedback section and contact any celebs where a success has been reported by email.

I hope this is helpful!

Hi Redgalland10, {up}

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!

Cheers {thumb2}[uk]
