okay, so, in a few weeks the X Factor show will be live on TV and the address in the database should be abvailable for use then? i mean, thats when they'll recieve the mail right?

so anyway, as it is not directed specifically at ANYONE. (On the envelope i assume ya right "The X Factor, c/o Thames Tv" ETC)

So what do i put in my letter? "I love Simon, Louis and Sharon... can i have their autograph?" or do i say: "I love the show, please could i have some details on auditioning and autographs would be greatly recieved"

or what? i am honestly stuck... please help me xx

Hey

I would imagine you can write now as the auditions are pre-recorded :) You would firstly address the envelope to all of them (surnames included) and then write a generic letter to all of them.
Dear Sharon Osbourne, Simon Cowell & Louis Walsh . . .
And then say what you feel. In the last paragraph politely ask for autographs from all of them {up} :wink:

Hi paigeandpruerock :D

When you write to The X Factor, I would suggest including such ideas in your letter however way you wish (examples of ideas below):

Dear Sharon, Louis and Simon,

- Introduce yourself
- Say what you like about the show
- Possibly mention your favourite moment
- Ask for a autographed photo
- Thank them for their time and wish them all the best
- Tell them that you'll be watching :)

... and then sign off.

Obviously, it's up to you to structure the letter however way you like :wink:

Good luck!

Hi paigeandpruerock {up}

You can actually write now! The production office is already open for the 2006 season.

I had a couple of successes last year from this address:

Yes. I got two within a week or so of each other, and they were signed in different places with non-identical autos.

In fact the second one I got had a better Simon Cowell auto on it. :lol: I also got an authentic from him though via his SYCO address.

It is the same photo he uses for his preprints, but it is again signed in a different place.

Cheers!

Did you get Sharon's by any chance Ian? Or did she send a SFM PP?
