Kennedyniles answered your question, but if you have any more- feel free to PM me or one of the other members or post on here. I also recommend you check out all of the stickied posts at the top of these forum sections (Autograph Discussion, and Collecting Help)- as they contain some helpful information for new TTM collectors.

If you want to request an autograph, follow the guidelines bellow. If you just want to mail a letter with the address above, and do not want anything back, then you can stop reading! If you live in UK send a properly stamped and self addressed envelope (minimum size 8.5" x 4") with your request letter and a photo. You can include a piece of cardboard to keep the photo from bending in shipping and also add "Do Not Bend" on the envelopes. Send your letter and wait. On average, there is going to be a 3+ month wait for a response. If you do not live in UK, add several* International Reply Coupons. The International Reply Coupons (IRC) will be used by the receiver to purchase english stamps. You can only get them at your post office. Place the IRCs into the envelope, not on it. For more information on reply coupons click here. *For information on postage prices to receive a letter from UK click here
Thats from what I think admin wrote.

Make sure your letters polite and its also nice to write abit more then a request, always say please and thankyou, having an autograph isnt a right its a privlidge(sp?) {thumb2}

Good luck

Also my advice is start off slowly, you don't have to send pictures to sign most celebs have them already but you can send your own if you like.

What I did is start off with a few in my country and wrote to agencys. Then I wrote to Via venue which is when a celeb is filming, musicals and concerts then began abroad.
