Hi middi666
I think you are a bit confused
You need 2 envelopes.
One envelope needs
your address on, and you attach your IRCs to this, (I usually paperclip mine to it).
You then put this envelope inside another one together with your request letter.
This envelope has the address for the celeb on the front. You then need to get this whole lot weighed and the proper amount of postage paid.
You then mail off your package!!!!!
You just need to make sure the envelope with the IRC's attached is big enough for the photograph you expect to get.
It is therefore better if the IRC envelope is the bigger one if you are sending two of different sizes
I hope this helps!
Ian

Make the bigger envelope the one you send with your IRCs and your address on it. Put the bigger envelope in the smaller one together with your letter, and
her address on the outside (of the smaller one).

Hi middi666
As was perviously said, Ian is a very experienced collector, and knows more about auto collecting than any of us.
Let me see if I can help you,
To write to any celeb that is out of your country, you need to send a letter, an SAE and some IRC's for he/she to purchase stamps from their country.
First, You get a small envelope (This one is for the celeb to send a photo to you in. A good size is about an 8inx10in). This is often called SASE or SAE. On this you put your address. You do not need to put anything inside it.
Then you need a large envelope (9inx12in) is a good size. On this you put the celebs address and postage from your country. (Take this to your local post office, after you have everything in it, to get the correct amount of postage In this envelope, you put your smaller envelope, letter, and any IRC's you may have.
I hope this clarified the situation for you.
Daniel
