OK I'll try that address soon; thank you.

Sent this out about a month ago. Got an RTS today (2/11/13). Reason written on the envelope was "MAIL BOX CLOSED".

Address used:

I usually hand write mine, even though before I send it off I usually have to re-write, and re-write, and re-write...

I suppose you could do either as long as you say what you feel about the celebrity, and not make it seem like you just want their autograph and nothing else.

I sent a few dollars to a few people - including Ashley Tisdale via venue - when I had no foreign stamps or IRCs and I still wanted to pay for postage.

I never got any successes when I sent money for postage, so I stopped doing it.

You don't have to - but it would improve your chances in getting a reply.

It also depends on the celebrity. Some celebrities won't sign authentically if you don't include a photo.

Probably Gordon Ramsay. After getting an autopen via e-mail a few years ago - and hearing he sent authentics if you wrote through the mail - I decided to try through the mail and send my own photo and to sit down and write a really good letter. I was very happy when I got a reply.

That's really nice! I'm sure you must of had a great time!

Did you notice one of the inscriptions read "Thanks for such a good fan!" I think that person left out a word or two, hehe.

I thought they sent out autopens (where a machine signs it instead of Hoffman).

That's for me to know and you to find out...

He is known to send secretarials.
