how much money should you include? I sent to someone in the UK and only included $2.00
I guess that it always depends on weight. I always send 4x6 photos and enclose US$ 2.00. Sometimes I send A4 sized prints, and as I usually add some cardboard to prevent them from bending, I use to enclose US$ 5.00, or € 5.00 when I believe it's necessary (I sent € 5.00 to Gerald Scarfe, and he lives in the UK . Good luck!
[quote="mandylorfan"][quote="renef09"][quote="Lierremei"]Hi everyone! I am new here and I need help. Today, I sent out a mail to Tom Hiddleston. I included a letter to express how much I admire him as an actor and politely asked for autographs (I included pictures) I even included a self addressed envelope. The problem is after I shipped it, I realized that the post office did not put in the irc as they misunderstood and gave me an AR registered post instead. Is it the same thing? I've never sent letters before. Will I get a reply? Do celebrities ignore autograph request if an IRC is not included? :cry: :cry: :cry:
Should I wait or send out another one? Thank you :)[/quote]
