Some of them will read the letters. Usually their agent or manager will read it first and then pass everything along. Sometimes they won't. I'd think if you tried to send them on a guilt trip and beg for a real autograph, the agent or manager would return your stuff unsigned or just toss out your request without even forwarding it to the celebrity.
They don't have to do anything for you, even if you make them feel guilty. This is something they are going to do for their real fans; and a real fan should be appreciative that they even send anything, even if it is a a pre-print.
Just write a heartfelt letter. Don't beg (like I said, beggars can't be choosers). If you come off as a genuine fan that just wants to show your appreciation for their work, then you might have a better chance of getting something.
Celebrities are people, just like me and you. If I were the celebrity and I got a letter begging for an autograph or a letter trying to make me feel guilty for not taking time out of my day to do something good for a "fan," I wouldn't even send a pre-print, I would throw it out. Put yourself in the celebrities shoes.
I'm not trying to put you down, just trying to help. I don't want you to go about it the wrong way and end up getting NOTHING at all.
