I just can't beleive it! Letters like this make all of us, collectors - vultures. I thought my letters could be better but my english is really not perfect but I always try to send something from the bottom of my heart!

I think he needs to radically change his entire approach. No question about that. Actually write a thoughtful and sincere letter specifically geared towards each individual that clearly states why he's a fan, and demonstrate that he's not just culling for free autographs with a generic, poorly conceived and blatantly obvious form letter. Which clearly he was. I'd be astounded to hear that he ever has any real successes with that approach. Heck - I'd assume even secretaries would ignore that one.
Yes...that is what I was saying..

My post above yours was not regarding autographs, but rather Shaun's intelligence level.

Wow. That makes this LOR attempt even more deplorable. I guess there isn't any point in belaboring the idea any further if he refuses to change his approach. I never took notice of Shaun before today, probably wasn't terribly interested in any of his previous successes or failures. Too bad he insists on giving the rest of us a black eye with every letter he send out. That's just lazy writing, and frankly it's astounding it ever works for him.

I have tried to advise Shaun (as many of us have) to try and develop his LOR writing, but he doesn't seem to care. It is letters like that which give collectors a bad name, but if that's how he chooses to do it, along with sending four letters at the same time to the same person, then it's his choice.

Wow....Shaun, that's horrible dude. I woulda sent that back too. I'm surprised you get anything back at all!

I think it's a pretty safe bet that if you don't even try to disguise the form letter by typing the person's name in instead of writing it by hand, you're not going to "get" it, regardless of how much you have to go on.

Dear (Fill in the blank)

I think you are great. I don't think you are great enough to go into any specifics about why I think you are great, or to personalize this letter in any meaningful way but I like free stuff. Alas I didn't think enough of you to send you a photo to sign, but I did create this generic request that I clearly send everyone and I'd really like a free photo personalized to me. I'm sure you have nothing better to do than to send out free photos to all your fans right? I said I'm a fan already right?

Sincerely

Shaun
Close, only your letter was longer and more specific than Shaun's original.
