The only letters I've written which have come back (as far as I can remember) have had a little note on from the person I've written to, which I think is rather nice, although once a letter has been sent it's gone and I've no wish to see it again.
I can see where you're coming from, but when you think about how many letters celebrities must receive, it's a bit presumptious to assume that they even read them, let alone have space in their homes to keep them. If they do read it, then the good wishes will remain with them, but it seems rather presumptious to assume that the paper they are written on is anything other than disposable ephemera. I assume that most are put out with the recycled paper once a fortnight.
There was recently a rather lovely questionnaire returned to a poster here from Brigitte Bardot, in which she says that she receives about 100 letters a week, which is 5,000 letters a year - that is a lot of sheets of paper.
