is it bad to type

I have a disability where my fine motor is messed up and my writing is almost not legible

My question is
Is it bad to type?
When you write the address, is there a program and if so can i have the link please that types out addresses for you

I think it's ok to type a letter to celebrities. Celebrities don't care if it's hand written or typed. There is a way to make your own envelopes. If you use Microsoft word, inside there is a place where you are able to type the address to the person, and your return address. I hope this answres your questions. Good Luck!!!!

Greendaygirl basically answered your question, but I would like to add that if you are going to type, try and make your letter sound individualized to that certain celebrity and not a forum letter. It would increase your chances of getting a response.

Exactly. There's nothing wrong with typing a letter as opposed to writing it by hand. You just have to make sure that it doesn't sound like you've filled in blanks in a form letter. You have to make each letter you type sound original and personal, as if you mean it.

If not, a celebrity may toss your letter aside in the other hundreds or thousands of letters they may receive. You have to make your letter stand out.

thx people for the replies

I also type my requests because my handwriting is sloppy, but in addition to doing all of the things already mentioned (especially personalizing the letter and avoiding a form letter), I would also recommending signing the letter with your signature in pen.

Good points My handwriting is also the other reason I type mine

It is really important to personally sign your letters - even if you type them - No scanned sigs {nonono}
