2Q: How to write request letter to a cast of a show

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie here and at autograph collecting. I have two questions:
1: I've only recently started to request autographs and I think I've figured writing a request letter to my favourite celeb out. However, I was wondering how to write a letter when asking for a cast signed preprint shows like Grey's Anatomy send out. I know not all of the castmembers of Grey's sign so I would like to have such a preprint cast pic. But I simply can't figure out how to write to a group of people without going "I like all of your preformances, Everybody is great" . Doesn't that sound abit odd? Any advice?
2: When printing and sending a picture to a celeb to sign is it rude to send two smaller pictures you would want them to sign? Or should you just send one 8x10 one? Because I've seen people get succes when sending more than one and I've seen succes where only one of the pics is signed? (I'm thinking of writing Jennifer Morrison)
Hopefully someone will be able to help me out! Thanks alot.

Welcome to the forum :)


1. I think you should address your letter 'To whom it may concern', and briefly go on to explain that you'd kindly like to request a cast pre-print as the show is one of your favourites, you enjoy every episode, find the characters entertaining, etc.


2. I personally find it impolite to expect a celebrity to sign more than one photo. However, if you know that celebrity has a reputation for signing multiple items, then by all means send two photos


Good luck!

Well what I usually write to a cast is-

Dear Cast of ______ -

How much I enjoy the show, what my favorite moment or episode is and how you're enjoying this season and what you can't wait for.

Thanks for the welcome and the advice BABii_ANG3L and The.Evening.Optimist!

I'll try the write my cast request letter by using the points you've mentioned! I think I'll just send one 8x10 to get signed when sending out pics :)
