Me
the majority of my successes are via the dollar method

and you mention in your letter why your include cash just say "you are from the UK and cant get IRC or US stamps so have included some dollars for postage"

Edit: Dont forget to include a SAE not like your expecting the celeb to go out of there way to buy envelopes and stamps as normally i think some celebs agencys have stamps at the ready for people who include dollars or dont provide a Self addressed stamped envelope just a SAE
You're a star, thanks for all your help!:)

A few US$1 bills in each request (easily available at banks, travel agencies and Post Office's) or buy US stamps through the autograph exchange/sale forum (Bri0626 has lots of happy customers including myself).

You can include a couple of US dollars with your request to cover return postage.

I have just found out that International Reply Coupons (IRC) aren't available in the UK any longer, is there any way I can send my autograph requests to the US? I'd found several other posts but I cannot seem to find them anymore.
