im asuming you are talking to me there.. yes that may be true but still my selfconfidence sinks if i know i sent a handwritten letter but me knowing i dont write good...but i have promise myself for a good time that i will start to write mine letters.

A scrawled letter that is barely readable is far more insulting than one that's neatly typed out. When you write it, just mention that your handwriting isn't great so you thought a typed letter would be easier to read, you'll be fine. I know a lot of people who prefer to type their letters and they have had many personal responses in return. It's all about the sincerity of the letter you send, rather than whether it was typed or handwritten. {thumb2}

Very good point! {thumb2} I didn't think of that. Thanks for correcting me!!

Plus celebs favor those over typed ones (due to many using form letters) and you may even get a handwritten letter back, such as my Martin Sheen example. another thing to mention, is that too long of a letter (8 legal pages) is way too much for a celeb to possibly read. but too short a letter (top half of a legal paper) is kinda worthless, as their is not much to wite in that small of an area. I like to keep my letters to one peice of legal size paper (8x11) and use both sides. but if you prefer to use 2 peices and write on only one side of each, that okay. just remember the more stuff you put in the envelope, the more postage it will cost.
