For the record, I would never write to someone's home address. I find it weird. Not because I'm picturing some deranged guy from Pennsylvania scaling a wall in Brentwood with a knife and some duct tape... which yes, was a joke... but because you don't know the person, so for professional correspondance, which this is, you should use their agent.

I see nothing wrong with writing to someones home address,everyday in the mail people get things they didn't ask for or expect it's just how mail works,no big deal really.They can choose to throw it out with their junkmail.
