My hand writing is absolutly rubbish so i type my letters.

I used to hand write all my letters but it hurt my hand so much (i used to write 6 letters at a time) i just started typing if it was someone that i really wanted i hand write my letter but i always use a pretty decorated envelope so they notice it (Luminescent Yellow with Pink flowers)

i think hand written

the celeb is more prone to taking the time to write you a hand written letter. it may seem like you have just copied other letters to celebrities. i aways write hand written letters and i get quite a few hand written letters from celebs back.


good luck!

While many of us on fanmail.biz collect autographs from celebrities who we are fans of, there are autograph collectors who collect autographs only to sell the autographs on EBAY, et al.

Great advise! :D I bet it makes them feel like we just want their autograph to expand our collection.

Yes, I made that mistake once. It was a letter to Steven Gerrard, I never got a responce so a year later I sent again and didn't include it and I got a responce.

Once professionnal athlete inscribed a pic I sent...It said to my #1 fan Danny thanks for your support, and autographed the pic. So sometimes without asking you might get surprises like that on your autograph request

yeah, I also try not to compliment them on their looks. Some celebs may feel that you only like them because of their looks, and not their talent.

Excellent point. When I write my letter(s) to celebrities, I am always honest with them. I agree with you about not writing that you are the #1 fan because this is a turn-off to certain celebrities because some people like to butter up the celebrities in hopes that they will get an autograph.

An honest letter is best way to write to a celebrity. When you write a letter to a celebrity don't write it like an obsessed fan because this might turn off the celebrity.

In my opinion, I say typed {up}

Advantages:

* Mistakes are made clear and noticeable before printing.
* It is easy for the celebrity to read.
* Appears neat.

Disadvantages:

* Less personal, perhaps.
* Celebrity may feel it could be just the use of Ctrl+V from previous letters.
*Celebrity may feel not much thought was put into the writing of the letter. (But I don't really understand why it would matter as they must receive alot of fanmail.)
