(I'm new here today so if this is in the wrong place/has been covered elsewhere I'm sorry

)
Is it better to introduce yourself in your letter (not a lengthy autobiography obviously) or just better to get straight on with flattering them?
Thanks in advance for any help

I would introduce myself a little bit.
Don't just jump straight in on flattering them; that would seem really "fake" and insincere about being their fan.

Hello namakemono!
I agree with the above posts, indroduce yourself first so the celebrity knows who you are! {thumb2} You can just write a brief introduction about yourself, like what's your name (obviously!

), your age, where you live, etc.
Good luck, namakemono!
Regards,
Lizanne

Yeah, usually, I just introduce myself.. like "Hey! What's up? My name is ---- and I think you're such a great talent!"

Sometimes I flatter them first and talk about what I liked them in and then after that I go into introducing myself or vice versa.

Should we tell them that we're autograph collector or just a fan? If we say we're autograph collector, then they might think that we're ebay seller.

Go for fan- they're more likely to personalise it if they know you don't just want their scribble for the sake of it.

I always introduce myself, name, where I'm from, age. things like that.
I always admire them in the second paragraph - I let the first be for my introduction.
I would always say fan, never collector.
