**Just to re-answer some of your questions (although they appear to be already cleared up):
Ok, what do I need to send them a letter?
You just need to send a brief explaining how you are a fan of their work and that you'd like an autograph- basically just write it like any other letter, but try not to drag on too much.
And do I need to include an envelope for when they send it back?
This is not necessary although it's a courtesy and can result in a higher rate of success (especially if sent Via Venue
Where do they get such good pictures of the people they're sending it to?
Refer to sticky: http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic ... 117&t=9998
But, I'm only 13 and can't just buy tons of pictures of the internet.
Most of the people on here print the pictures themselves or get them professionally printed (Sticky: http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic ... 14&t=96509) which really isn't that expensive (~2.50USD). The only thing I will say about that is that it is technically illegal to print many images you find online- although I am one of the only people to be acknowledging this fact.
Can't you just send a autograph request letter and they'll have a picture of themselves ready to autograph??
some do, some don't- it can depend on the person and where they are or what they are doing. If you are sending Via Venue, it's better for you to send an item to be signed as they might not be carrying their photos with them. Also, there have been some celebrities known to sign stuff sent in authentically, but mail out Pre-prints or autopens if nothing is sent to be signed. There are also some celebrities that charge a small fee for them to sign items or send you one of their signed items. Also, you don't necessarily just have to get pictures signed, I've sent out quite a few index cards to be signed (cheap postage, and am able to professionally mount/frame them under a picture or other item).
And what do you usually say in your letters??
Not really able to answer this efficiently, as it varies from letter to letter.
