Yeah, what Phoebe said, about to personalize the letters at what not, that really important

Really, it is up to you what you write. Take a minute to think about what you really like about the person you are writing to and then perhaps draft some sentences and your letter structure out first to avoid mistakes if you need to. Remember to be polite and make it as easy as possible for the celebrity to reply, by including an SASE, or an SAE with IRCs. :razz: It would be best too, if you could try to make sure that each letter isn't generic or in a form style, where you just fill in the blanks. Try to make each letter personal to you if possible.

Good luck! {thumb2}

Ok, so send a self-addressed/stamped envelope, pictures or what ever you want autographed, and a letter. My letter look like this:

-->* Dear Mr./Mrs. [last name], OR Dear [first name],
(praising letter) Hello, my name is [your name] and I'm a big fan of [whatever they do] Yada-yada-yada, just write a polite first paragraph.
-->* (request letter) Well can I please** have your autograph on the picture I sent? You can return it to me in the SASE is put in. Thank you so much!**
--------------------------------> (at far right of paper after letter) Best wishes/sincerely/Best always etc.
--------------------------------------> (A line below and a little farther right) [your first and last name]

*= indented paragraph
**=VERY important to say please and thank you!

I do what DisneyFan says. My letters are usually about half of a one-side of a page.

It is polite to write a short letter (should be no longer than a page of A4), rather than just a note asking for their autograph. Instead of a generic 'I'm your biggest fan, can I have your autograph?', tell the celebrity why you like them - if it's an actor, musician, or author, tell them what films/tv shows/music/books of theirs were your favourite. If it's a sports personality, model, politician, or other celebrity, think about why you admire or appreciate them, and tell them.
It's a good idea to start your letter by introducing yourself, for example: 'My name is _____, I'm from ______, and I'm a big fan of your work/films/music/books/sports team/etc'.
If you want an autograph, you should make sure you specifically request one. It's a good idea to use this to finish off the letter. Always be polite and friendly, it is common courtesy as you are asking for something from the celebrity. For example, 'I was wondering, if it's not too much trouble, could I have your autograph? If so, thank you.'.
Hope that helps, but as the people above have said, there is no particular way to write a letter, just remember to ALWAYS be polite (don't be overly formal, just remember please and thank you's), and be genuine!

As for the letter, like hopcity said, just write what you want. Maybe give a short paragraph about yourself and why you like them, and then finish off by saying why you are sending them the letter/photo to begin with.

Otherwise... remember to include a SAE/SASE!

Personally, I'm not going to tell you what to write, as it should be something you do yourself. It shouldn't be a case of "ticking all the boxes" to get you an autograph. It should be obvious to yourself what to write, if you know why you want their autograph Just remember to be polite

Im new at this and i want to know whats the best way to get autographs and what do you have to say?
