Colin Firth - Success

[stillluckyas13canbe]

What I'm doing is sending letter saying I'm fan,
Sending newspaper artical stating what I'm doing

Sorry, this makes no sense. You sent a letter saying you're a fan as opposed to a charity collector? That doesn't make any sense to me.

This is what I believe this is & That is why its now personalised.

It's not personalised?

James, the latter will be a typo. Presume it is meant to say "not".

As for the "fan" letter...no idea why a charity auction would only be limited to people you're a fan of. Seems a bit self defeating.

Latter was a typing wrong doing,

However. I'm a massive Colin Firth Fan, so when I wrote to him I stated that I was a big fan? As well as all my trip information,

what's wrong with that lol

Confusion comes from the fact it sounded you were just sending a fan letter with charity addition to all people. I approach all sorts of people, whether I am a fan or not, and that's what perplexed me in your comment. Nothing wrong with telling someone you're a fan when writing a charity letter, but the focus for you should be the charity angle.

And it is :- )

I have a small para at stop stating that I admire them, and then four explination para's and a newspaper artical.

Cool, but does that still mean you're only writing to people you admire or you're telling everyone you admire them regardless. If you get what I mean?

I've never seen an authentic TTM for him, just saying.

How do you know the ones that are coming back aren't authentic ? Everything that he is doing this year is in post production, so maybe he has some downtime. What makes you think they aren't real ? JW. (besides the best wishes thing)

Because for a long time now every single success has come back super fast.
I know you cannot say either way on that alone but for me it's enough to make me suspicious.
Colin does alot of work outside the UK I just don't see how they can all come back singed genuinely so quick.
I wrote to him a few years ago and robustly defended them as real then but since then I have questioned this.

It's worth saying I am not alone in raising suspicions that Colin's successes are secretarial.

Someone mentioned Judi Dench email successes are believed to be authentic and they come back fast. That was a good point and indeed something to consider. But she mainly works in the UK now, more UK work than non UK IMO.

Another example is Josh Dallas. A high volume of requests come back fast even though he is spending alot of time in Canada filming. The requests go to a US town where he grew up- so it's possible he is visiting there and signing mail, but from the volumes and speed of return I have doubt about this now. Some time ago I pointed out the above as grounds for them being genuine. But since seeing the succession of quick successes I have doubt.

I could well be wrong but I have my suspicions is all This topic has given me more to consider and opened my mind a little.

Oh okay, Thanks for explaining your thoughts. I completely understand !

Yes, I get you
And the majority of the people I write to, I admire & am a fan off, however some are not.
I'm not made of endless cash to send things out, so thought it might be better when I do have the money to send requests, it better to go to people I can relate to knowing them and loving their work.

The reason people say the vast majority of Colin's are sec signatures is simply because they look nothing like his signature nor his handwriting.

Missed the typo in my OP, sorry.
