^^^^ That is the only reason you should ever type a letter!


If you want free autographs from a celeb/athlete... at least have the common decency to hand write your letter.

If you expect them to take time out of their day to sign autographs for fans... you should take time out of your day to hand write your letters.

Typed form letters just make you look like a cheap free loader autograph dealer!

You should write your letters by hand. Although typed letters look more professional, handwriting your letter shows that you actually made an effort to write for them. I think that this might even improve success rate. I always write my letters by hand and have a great success rate! Good luck to you!
Latest Success: Joanne Froggatt
Most Wanted Successes: EMMA WATSON, the rest of the Harry Potter Cast, Star Wars cast, OUAT cast, Pirates of the Caribbean cast, LOTR/The Hobbit cast, Downton Abbey cast, Ewan McGregor, Liv Tyler, Martin Freeman, Orlando Bloom, Penelope Cruz, Once Upon a Time Cast
Favorite Autographs: Ewan McGregor, Rupert Grint, Michael Gambon, Rachel McAdams, and so much more!

I don't think fanmail should look professional... unless you are a professional ebay autograph dealer.
