You will need the following:
- Letter
- Envelopes (2) - one for your SASE/SAE and one addressed to the celebrity
- Stamps (for your SASE and other envelope)
- IRC's (if applicable - if you're sending outside of your country)
- Photos or something to sign (optional)
You will then need to write up a letter and address one envelope to you and the other to the celebrity. Stick enough stamps on the envelope addressed to the celebrity, and on your SASE if you're sending within your country. If you're sending outside of your country, do not stick stamps on your envelope but instead include IRC's with your SAE.
Put everything inside your envelope addressed to the celebrity and include photos/items to sign inside as well. Seal up the envelope and post away!!

I would recommend no longer than one page, as celebrities receive a lot of mail and do not have a lot of time to read, let alone to respond to every single letter.

Some celebrities handle mail personally, others like to let an assistant or someone else do it for them. The point of sending a SASE/SAE & IRC's is so it allows the celebrity to respond and send something back to you (i.e. an autographed photo). However, not every celebrity responds.
