Hi cullen.xo! ;-)

Welcome to Fanmail.biz! {clap}

You can write anything you want in your letter. {thumb2} Try to write the letter from your heart - tell the person why you admire them, which films/albums, etc. you like, what you're looking forward to. :) Then, you can write a bit about yourself, tell about your family/friends, hobbies, pets, school/work, etc. Try to keep it interesting and short - it is recommended that the letter should be no longer than one page, otherwise it gets too lengthy and boring. {up}

Hope this helps! :mrgreen:

Good luck!

Hey, cullen.xo! Welcome to fanmail.biz. I hope you love it here, I do ;-)! Here's how I make my letter (I hope this helps);

Dear __,
My name is __. I am __ years old and I live in __. (A little about yourself) I am a big fan of your's. I loved your (movie or song <-- write one of those) __. That was an excellent performance. You are a beautiful (or handsome) singer (or actor). You are amazing at what you do and I hope to see even more from you in the future!

Anyway, I am an autograph collector and I was wondering if I could have your autograph. I sent you ______, and an SASE (if you did) in hopes that'll help. I'm really a big fan of your's and it'd mean a lot having an autograph from you! Could you also sign the autograph with (song lyrics or movie lines, if you want) ___? It's okay if you can't, I'd understand, but it'd be great if you did! Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
(Write or type your name)
(Sign your name)

I hope that helped! That's how I make my letters, not sure about everyone else. It also helps if you send a photo or SASE, but for most celebrities it doesn't effect your changes much.

It's the same as usual, sending a letter, SAE/SASE plus your own picture. You may also mention you'd like him/her to sign on that photo in the letter{thumb2} Hope it'll help =]

I never mention that I'm an autograph collector. I think it diminishes chances of getting an autograph, especially with the wave of Ebay and other online sellers. I don't want the celeb to think that I'll just turn around and sell their signature on Ebay (I never would).

I was going to say something, but Selise took the words right outta my mouth.
"Weirdism - don't you ever call someone weird. Everybody is unique, therefore to be normal is to be weird. So really the weird ones are the normal ones and the normal ones are the weird ones. That's my analogy."

I think that's a very inappropriate thing to say.
You shoul always introduce yourself as a fan of the celeb you are asking his/her autograph to.
If you mention that you are just an autograph collector the star could feel quite used ad will probably refuse to fullfill your request.

That's the order I follow in writing to a star:
:arrow: I introduce myself
:arrow: Talk about my intrests
:arrow: I say that I'm a big fan
:arrow: I talk about his/her last works
:arrow: I make my request
:arrow: I write what I've enclosed to my LOR (SASE, IRCs, SAE...)
:arrow: I say thank you and I write a conclusion like "I wish you all the best", "Good Luck for your upcoming projects", "Best Regads"...
:arrow: I alwas sign my letter, even if typed.

Good Luck!! ;-)

Here is what I do.

Look at recent success to see if they have a photo they could send me- if so what size so I know how big of an SASE. :D

Write a letter saying a little about me, something we have in common, why i like their work, and if they could send me a photo :D

Stamp, SIGN, mail, and wait :D
