Or you could just re-send a request through another address...i.e. use your parents or a friend as a return address...if you really care about being "sneaky" (of course you'd want to write something like "this is for my friend X" where X is your own name to avoid having it personalized to your friend.

Frankly, though, fan mail isn't as scrutinized as much as you think it is...the PA at the other end isn't writing your name down in a database and comparing it against new requests that come in...so I doubt very much that they will even notice if an identical request comes in...

I agree with the others on this one.

I have only re-sent a few time but always after a while--at least 6 months. I don't think I have ever re-sent e-mails. :)

It really depends. I usually check the agency after 3-4 months. You would be surprised how many celebs I have sent to have moved agencies. And lots of times they don't forward. If I send something vv and I don't get a response within a few months of their filming/appearing. I might try a different address. I have had many a success from sending a 2nd time, sometimes even to the same agent. But, I have never sent to the same address weekly.

honestly it depends on the person...like Taylor Lautner (i wouldnt resend because he is popular) but i think in general i would just wait..thats just what i would do because i have very good patents...so its up to you..

Hi.
I my opinion, resending every week or even every month is just badgering the person you are requesting from. Some people can take 6 months to a year to get back to you. They're busy or it takes that long for their mail to catch up to them. I wait a year at least. Now, if they are in a venue such as a concert or Broadway, I would check to see how long they will be there and then try resending to get it to them before they move on. But I would only resend once.

So many celebs have gone to using Studio Fan Mail or no longer responding at all because they are either flooded with mail from the same people over and over. A) It can be annoying and B) a lot assume what they are selling will end up on eBay or other such sights.

I would say give it at least 6 months and while waiting, write to all the other great people out there that you want for your collection.
