Hi Heather.
Welcome to the forum!
In order to send a request to someone (in your instance Jodelle Ferland & Dakota Fanning), you will need the following:
1. A letter to whomever you're writing to. I would recommend starting off with an introduction about yourself, then tell them what you like about their work, kindly ask for an autographed photo and wish them all the best in the future (this is up to you how you want to structure your letter)
2. An envelope addressed to the celebrity which will enclose your letter and self addressed stamped envelope (SASE) or self addressed envelope (SAE) and international reply coupons (IRC) - see point 3. Don't forget to stick enough stamps on the envelope!
3. A SASE or SAE and IRC's. You include this with your letter so that whomever you're writing to can send something back to you (e.g. autographed photo). If you're writing to a celebrity within your country, just send an envelope addressed to you and stick enough stamps so it can be sent back. If you're sending a request to someone outside the country, do send the self addressed envelope but instead of sticking stamps on the envelope include some IRC's with your request (they are bought at a post office). The IRC will be exchanged by the person you send the request to for stamps so the SAE can be sent to you. More information about IRC's can be found
here.
4. Photos or other memorabilia to be signed (optional). Just remember to only send what you can afford to lose.
From this, put the letter, SASE or SAE & IRC's and photos/memorabilia (if applicable) into the envelope addressed to the celebrity and post away!
Now all you have to do is wait (which is the hardest part) until something arrives for you in the post.
Good luck!
