Still don't understand

Unread post by Atreyu_ »

Hi there, I hope u guys can help me again.
I still don't get everything with sending autograph requests to celebs, how you do it.
okay, let's start from the beginning.
and just so you know, I live in Sweden.

First, you need a letter, quite big?
and then, on the front you write the address to the celeb/fan club you're sending to.
and then, on the back, you write your own address, so the celeb can send the letter back to you.
and then, if I'm sending to United Kingdom, how many stamps am I going to place on the letter? And they have to be Uk stamps, right?
And if I'm sending to the USA, how many US stamps?
Australia, how many australian stamps?
And I don't get it, if the letter get stamped when they send it to for example the USA, how will the celeb be able to send the same letter back again? if the letter get stamped?
Or am I going to place another letter INSIDE the letter i'm sending to the celebrity, with my address on the back, so that he/she can use that letter to send an answer to me with a photo?
And should I place 1 or 2 (if I for example send to the usa) american stamps inside that letter too?
And what's best, an SASE (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope),
Or a SAE (Self Addressed Envelope) with one or two IRC's?
Which method gets the best result?
And if I don't have a picture of the celeb, and only write a letter and ask for a signed photo, will the most celebs send their own photo?

Thank you, I wrote pretty much, but I need help so I can understand this thing :lol:
have a good day {up}

The letter you write should not be VERY long.

The envelope you send everything in doesn't have to be big.

INSIDE this letter but another envelope (big enough for them to send pictures in) on this envelope write your own name and address and if you have Autralian, American... stamps put some on it. If you don't have these just include two IRC's. That should be enough.

When you send a letter to England from Sweden you don't put English stamps on the letter. You put Swedish stamps on them. Take your letter to the post office and they will do it for you.

Depending on the size and weight of what you are sending - and where you are sending it to - the price is very different. Again, the post office is able to help you with this!

The celeb wont send the stamped letter back. The celeb will use the envelope you have put inside the other envelope :D

You should always write you address on the back of what you are sending but you also have to write it on another envelope and put it inside the other envelope as mentioned.

A SASE is always the best but SAE with IRC is just as good.

It is always a good idea to send your own picture. But if you don't have a picture I am sure they will have one they can send you.

Hope that helped you a bit :)

Well, I have a loong list of celebritys I wanna write to, haha.
I'll start writing to the ones that is on my Top 5 list, that I would most like to have an auto from.
I don't know which ones it'll be yet, though. long list as I said earlier :o :lol:

By the way, how big should the envelopes be? I think I'll have the envelope I send to the celebrity, AND the one that's inside it, in the same size.
How big? I think 9x12 is a little bit too big, how small can the letter be?
Can you give me 2 numbers (you know, and if it goes under the example you give me, it'll be too small)
Hope u can answer :wink:
