Sending letters for requests - advice!

[onlytazz]

I introduce myself, tell them what show/movie I like them in and tell them my favorite episode in the show. Then I politely ask them for there autograph.

I don't know if it's been mentioned already but I usually ask at least one question in my letter--when/if they respond, maybe I'll get a note answering my questions.

Hiya guys,

This was the final letter i wrote last night to Ben Richards who plays my favourite character in The Bill:

Dear Ben,

Hello, my name is Claire. I am an avid fan of you from Manchester!

I think your acting is absolutely fantastic - you have great potential, and i love the way that you show many different sides to a character.

The thing i love about Nate is that he is smart, easy going and fun-loving. Nate is an all round good guy - however he does have an inability to stick to things - be it a hobby, a station or a girlfriend!

My most favourite The Bill storyline that you have been one of the main characters in deffinately has to be the most recent six part storyline at Deansgate Comprehensive. I liked the way that Nate went into it like a fish out of water - until Smithy got stabbed - then Nate was more determined than ever to succeed in his new role at the school. I really like the way that as the storyline went on, Nate grew close to a few of the children - and even one of the teachers (namely Jimmy Ryan and Becky James!) You could tell that Nate really cared for their welfare, and wanted to help them!

The ending of the Deansgate storyline bought a few tears to my eyes. Mainly because i was glad that it was a happy ending! Jimmy made up with Nate, after hating up for tearing his family apart, and Nate and Becky shared a special moment together. Haha, it made me laugh when Nate told Becky he'd bought her something and it was one of the posters from the school with the word 'loser' written on it!

All in all - i think that you are a great addition to the show - i hope we see plenty more from you!

In the future - i would possibly like to see Nate settle down with someone in a serious relationship, rather than just the little flings! Haha - i also hope that Nate can have the abbility to stick with Sun Hill - he's just what they need! I would also like to see him lead another storyline!

I would be very greatful if you could send me your autograph please (if possible personalised to me, but if not i'll still be very happy!) I have enclosed a self addressed stamped envelope, so that the autograph can be sent back to me. I really appreciate it alot, so thankyou!

Claire

Thanks for the tip about adding a question!

I know what question i would like to ask all the actors/actresses - it's:

As (so and so) what has been your favourite storyline?

Do you think that is a good one?

Also, where abouts in my letters do you think would be a good place to put it - they're all set out in a similar way.

Id put that question at the start when you are talking about them. Its a good question but i think you should expand it slightly. Perhaps 'From when you first started acting in Eastenders, whats been your favourite storyline?' or 'Since Eastenders first appeared on our screens, whats been your all time favourite storyline?' etc {thumb2}
