This might sound stupid...

Everytime I want to write to a celebrity I always seem to have a hard time trying to find the words that let them know I want a Autograph without sounding like just someone who wants them to autograph something so I can sell it (Which isn't my purpose for Autographs at all). I'm trying to start up my collection of Celebrity Autographs just seems hard to ask someone like Chris Rock for his Autograph even though I like his Acting sometimes..but I'm not truly a Huge fan of his. If anyone could help me with my problem it would be a huge help

Your question isn't stupid at all! In fact I'm glad you asked, as I typed the below information for a friend who was having the same problem! Hope it helps!! {thumb2}

Writing your letter. This can sometimes be easy or hard depending on how good you are with words and creativity. When I first started collecting, my letters were HORRIBLE! I basically said: "Hi! I think your a great actor. What was your favorite role to play? can you send me an autographed photo please? Thanks for reading my letter!" Pretty pathectic huh? I did get a few replies back from the letters, but not many. Now that I'm more experianced and have written literally HUNDREDS of letters it's very easy for me to sit down and wite a nice request.

I start out by introducing myself (My name, my age, City and state that I live in). then I list a few hobbies that I enjoy (Graphic Design, Watching movies, listening to my MP3 etc.) I tend not to list "Autograph Collecting" as one of my hobbies as I don't want them to get them impression that I might try and sell the signatures I'm requesting at the end of the letter (Which I don't). after that I let them know that I enjoyed their roles in films that they've been in (I make sure and list a few titles so they know I saw them). Then I tell them that I checked out their IMDB film profile or OFFICIAL site (Make sure to put the web address if it's an official site) and tell them what I liked them most about it, and cool features that I'd like to see them add.

If they have some interesting hobby or trivia that I find exciting I'll make a few comments on that too. Usaully by this time I've used up the front page of my paper, so then it's onto the back side where I ask for the autograph! LOL! I typically will wite it like this:

"If it's okay, I've included some photos, CD/DVD covers, Custom made cards etc. That I hope you can please personalize and sign for my collection. A SASE is Enclosed as well, so you don't have to pay for return postage. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my letter. Good luck with all your upcoming projects and future success!! Sincerely, [My name]"
