Ok, thx for info

I mix it a bit, again, I'm pretty sure an assistent/agent opens letters first; don't want him to toss it away

I'll write letter in english with a small part (2 lines) in french then; got 2 people in mind.

Cheers
Sven

Hi svenver

If you can write in the person's native language, it is even better than writing in English as English could be their second langugage.

It would make it easier for them to read and understand your message and request, and you may even get a better reply.

Good luck!

Hi svenver!

I actually did something like this recently. Another board member (matze16) gave me this idea. I wrote to a German actor and what I did was wrote my introduction in German, the body of my letter in my native language (English) and then closed the letter in German. The actor seemed really impressed with this, thanked me and complimented the German.

Maybe you could do a mixture of English and French.

Hope that helps!

I guess it would make the most sense to write in the language he understands best. If he is from Belgium, I would write in Dutch/German, but I really don't think he cares if you were to write in French or English either.

Hi,

Would it make sense to write in the language of the actor/actress grew up in?

For example, should I write to somebody like Jean-Claude Van Damme (just an example), he is originally from Belgium like me, and speaks French.

Would that make sense for or be extra polite to write him a french letter? or will that just reduce my chances since in 99.99% of the cases the letters will be opened by an english speaking assisten..

Cheers
