OP,
YES you are supposed to send a letter asking for the autograph.. its rude if you dont, and I know that if I were a celebrity and was handed an envelope with just a picture and an SASE in, I'd send the SASE back with no picture inside, just to waste your time like you did to me! ;)
When sending requests, I
ALWAYS write a letter, always include a SASE (unless I'm sending to America, then I only use an SAE as I cannot get IRC or American stamps, but I do mention this in my letter and apologise for the lack of postage payment on my return envelope), and I always provide one or 2 pictures to be signed. Thats the courteous way to do it, and if I were a celebrity, this is the way I'd expect my autograph requests to be.
When sending email requests, I also write the email like I'm writing a letter, as I find the typical "Hi I'm a huge fan of (name), please can I have a signed picture? here's my address....." really rude, and I wouldnt even answer those either.
Hope I helped
