I usually use a specially printed letter set for my request!
Sometimes I put in a couple of origamis

My usual requests always include:
- 1 laserprinted letter
- 1 SASE
- 1-3 8x12" promotional photos
- 1 8x12" cardboard (to prevent any bendings)
Best,
Stephan

Heres mine
1. Self printed letter, signed etc.
2. Handwritten SAE or SASE (My labels are beginning to run out)
3. 9x12 photo if sending V.V or other occasions (rarely)
4. IRC's (very rarely)
5. 9x12 ordinary piece of paper as my ink is running low and the autograph means more to me
(I will begin to do this as of September 2006)

So you sign your letters with a real signature?
I just end it "Best wishes! -my secret last line-" ;) My name is in this last line but only my first name, which I also write in the beginning when presenting myself!

No I have a secretary to do that Volante
Don't you sign off with your full name?

No I don't...
I'm not aware of letter writing politeness in english speaking countries, I do as we do here. My letters are very polite and friendly, and I feel more friendly if I just end it nicely with my first name. I don't know why, I just think it feels better, and I certainly don't believe they think I'm rude because of this. ;) Why would they?

-Typed letter with my signature in ink at the end (so it doesnt look like a form letter)
-Photo(s)/index card
-cardboard
- Handwritten SASE
On special occasions I write handwritten, like to Nathan Lane or Mel Brooks.

In almost all of my requests, I send ...
- Handwritten letter
- SASE / SAE & IRC
- 6x4 photos (2)*
- Small gift (occasionally to some celebrities)**
*I normally only send 6x4 photos because it's cheaper for me to print, send and get back as most of my requests are to the US (and they normally don't get bent in the mail)
**This is normally a small handmade heart which I made myself from ribbon. It can be hung off a key chain / mobile/cell phone etc.
