I'm in the US and want to send a letter and a SASE to:
Rachel Weisz
Independent Talent Group Ltd.
Oxford House
76 Oxford Street
London W1D 1BS
UK
Can I use to US stamps there? I know I need UK stamps when it's returned to me. Do I use a IRC, etc?

You can only use IRC's or SASE. If you're going to send IRC's send about 2/3, if you are sending SASE, then you calculate the price of the shipping from UK

Hope this helps a bit

I think it might be easier to use IRC's. Not quite sure what you meant by 2/3. Can you specify?

2/3 means 2 or 3 IRC's. When I send out to the UK I just use regular US one dollar bills and have had great success. Most over-seas celebs make their way to the US for premeire's and they can always spend it when they come to the US or exchange in the UK for their own currency.

A LOR+SASE from US to UK will cost $0.98
The return postage for the SASE+picture (assuming 8x10) will be £1.35

So roughly 3 US Stamps for US to UK. And do I get an IRC to cover the $1.35 or do they have certain denominations?

IRCs only comes in one denomination, and I believe it's currently worth only 62p in the UK, so you'll need three of them.

Thanks. Could you give me a link to them? If I buy them online do I need to print them or can I get them another way?

You can't get them online, only at the post office. Many smaller post offices will choose not to stock them, so check the bigger ones in your area.
