Old How do I write to my favorite actor posts

[DanaRenoMBA]

I just read: "How do I write to my favorite actor?" and would like to add one point. That is to be polite, polite polite. That goes a long way toward being successful as a collector.
I have been collecting since the late 70's / early 80's and the list of my successes is long, and I believe that the polite tone of my letter is the reason for my success and I can not over state the importance of being polite.

I've sent letters before but have never sent a SASE, so going to try that. I'm in Australia and want to post to US. How many International Reply Coupons will I need to include so they can post back to me? thanks

I'm not sure exactly how many IRCs but if you're going to send a SASE then there's no need to send IRCs.. IRCs are just something to exchange for stamps, if you're sending a SASE then there's no need for them because you're going to be providing the stamps for them

Yellow601, you will need at least 2 IRCs. 2-3 IRCs is ideal for anywhere around the world. The more your letter weighs the more IRCs you should include.

Dana - Excellent point! You could not be more right!

You put the envelope with your address inside the envelope your are sending.

Hope this has helped!
