I agree, never say you're an autograph collector. They don't know the extent of that, whether you write to every Tom, Dick or Harry or whether you just write to those you admire. I always begin the letter saying that I'm a huge fan, how long I've been a fan, how I discovered them etc. My penultimate paragraph is usually something like "I realise that you are very busy but if you could have the time, it would mean so much to me if you could sign the photo/CD insert/DVD insert I've included with my letter. Thank you so much."
