I get my dad to write the letter and sign it myself. My signature is good but i have horrible handwriting. Im a lefty i guess, but who cares I write the rough draft then get someone with nice handwriting to rewrite

What happens with me is, I'll do this..and sometimes I just ask all together and forget about the P.S.:

Dear Ms/r. Whomever I'm writing too;

I'm a big fan of you in ---- compliments here..

more compliments

wise crack here (usually funny, not rude) and then ask for autograph.

Thanks,

My name here

P.S. Would you mind signing my index cards, please?

Great point there. I always ask for my autograph in my P.S, I think the celeb feels better, when it's not to much to the forfront.

It's definitely important to sign letters that you handwrite but, more importantly, type. I sign ANY letter (and date it) I write or type. It assures the celebrity, even though hand written seems more personal, that you actually took the time to write/type your letter. I always end up putting a P.S. in my letters.

I must hold up my hands, and say on the whole I do not sign my letters

But the way I format them, means I have had around 45 success, I understand what everyone is saying, and believe it's right.

But not all celebs are honest, with the amount of AP's or PP's or secs around.

At least most of our letters are either typed or handwritten by us.

Chrissy is right. If you write it personally, it means that you'd take some time just to show your support for the person you're writing to. Anything goes on the computer, you know? Like you can copy & paste it, etc.

I think that is well said. If I was getting letters asking for autographs, I'd like to think that the person writing to me would take the time to sign the letter.

I always type my letter on the computer and, after printing, I sign at the bottom of the paper.

You want them to sign your stuff with their own hands, it would only be right for you to sign your letter!

new to this but at the start i apologize for not hand writing it out as my hand writing is so terrible, but at the end i always sign my signature in a blue pen, which ends up proving just how bad my writing is! I would like to hand write them out to make them more personal but the celeb would never be able to read my letter or the request for an autograph. as they get so much to read through in general i like to think I'm making it a little easier on them instead of having to spend time trying to decipher my hand writing...
