I am right there with Crissy... my letters are usually right at a page long, and usually broken up into 3 paragraphs. The 1st part of my letter is just briefly telling them how big of a fan I am of them and might tell them what they've been in that I really enjoyed (like a favorite show or movie). The 2nd paragraph is when I will ask them to sign what I have enclosed or ask for their autograph if I didn't send them anything to have signed. The 3rd paragraph is just a short sentence or 2 telling them that I appreciate their time and consideration regarding my request and that even if they are unable to accomodate my request, they will have a fan for life. I close it with thanks for the memories past, present and most certainly future but of course there will always be exceptions to that part depending on who I am writing too! I have had a ton of success using this method but it took some fine tuning before I got really comfortable with what I was sending out. You'll get your niche and be getting those awesome 9x12 envelopes in your mailbox before you know it! Best of luck to you!
