Hello Blind Valentine!
I sent to Helena after I saw the first success on this site a few months ago! Just a letter, SAE & an IRC, and have not heard back.
Several people have heard back from the Conway.. Address, but just by judging at the successes it looks like they all sent their own photos (which I didn't do
).
My honest recommendation...get her IP (unlikely probably for the US people
), or send a SAE, IRC (or two!), a picture (or two!), and of course your letter.
If you're sending in a venue in hte US, I would send US Postage. If she takes it back with her like you claim, then she will more than likely supply postage herself, or I've heard the ODDEST SUCCESSES of people getting a success from ________ to the US! Who knows these days!?
I'll post back if I ever get a success, or just look around her successes for anyone who got something without a photo sent.
