I feel like I'm clogging the boards, so I'm sorry and I'll take a break. Could someone tell me if this is somthing worth sending? I plan on handwriting it and sending it tomorrow (today). Thanks!



Dear Mr. Depp,

My name is Jonathan. I am 21 years old and I currently go to school at Central College in Iowa. I recently became engaged to my girlfriend, Rachel. One of the things we both really enjoy is movies. As such, we are HUGE fans of your work. You are our favorite actor. We went to see Public Enemies, and really enjoyed it! Rachel tends to like more of your “further out” characters, like in Tim Burton’s films. She is extremely excited to see you as the Mad Hatter! I on the other hand, enjoy your presence in your more “real” films, such as Finding Neverland, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. However, we both agree that we like you the most in Pirates of the Caribbean. Your character is some of the most uniquely executed acting we’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. I especially like the look on your face after asking Lord Beckett, “Who am I?” He looks so confused, and you look so downtrodden as you reply, “I’m... Captain Jack Sparrow...” We laugh every time.

I have also sent you this letter in hope that you would be willing to personalize and sign one of these photos for my fiancé. Since she is graduating this May and going off to graduate school, I think it would be an amazing present for her from her favorite actor to wish her the best of luck in grad school, or congratulations on her graduation. If you would do me this favor, I would be forever in your debt. I have enclosed a self addressed, stamped envelope as well so you don’t have to worry about postage or my address. Thank you so much for your time to read my letter. I hope Alice in Wonderland turns into an amazing success!! We will be there opening day!

Jonathan

He does not reply authentically sign ever TTM(through the mail). If you write you will just get an AP(auto-pen) or a PP (pre-printed).

You best chance is to try to buy one from http://www.autographworld.com/.

He is supposedly great in-person but just not by mail

Other than that though, is the overall style ok? Would it be alright to ask for an autograph for someone else? Because I really want to get a personalized autograph for my fiance. I think that would be really neat..

It's a good letter.

Just search for feedback on people before you decide to even write them.

And Good Luck

Yeah, as the other poster said, you will only ever get an Auto-pen from him. Should you meet him however, I have heard he is a very gracious IP signer.
As for the letter, I personally think it is brilliant. Probably the proto-type from which all letters should be based {up}

You might have a chance VV, but only if they are filming abroad. I have seen some VV successes on other forums. {up} It doesn't happen very often, but it has happened. Don't bother sending to his agency.
