Nope! Not at all! I send the same size envelope with no picture and I get successes ALL the time. It just takes patients...

NO, mail takes time.
Britney Spears==>> 6 #1 albums. 2 diamond albums. 8 platinum albums. 400+ awards. 200M+ records sold. Britney has sold over 45 million records this decade despite only releasing three albums. Globally, Britney has more #1 singles than any other female artist except Madonna and Rihanna. "Oops!...I Did It Again" by Britney is the 5th best selling album of the 2000s decade worldwide. Britney is the only female artist to chart her first seven albums in the top two of the Billboard 200. Britney has achieved at least one #1 album in 3 different decades (90's, 00's, 10's). Britney is the first solo female artist from the 90's to reach 1 billion Spotify streams. Despite NOT even being a single, 'Tom's Diner', ft. Britney , has become Giorgio Moroders best-selling digital track. 2015 Billboard Awards ratings reached a 14-year high, with numbers peaking during Britney's performance. She IS the princess of Pop.

I never used to include photos since I didn't realize that I should. I figure that since I'm going through the trouble of buying envelopes, postage, return postage etc, including a photo makes it a bit likelier that I'll have success. Plus I can choose the exact picture I want.


But don't feel bad about not getting successes, I usually have months of waiting in between successes. I yell at the mailbox all the time!

I'm not sure on how to label the front, anyone that can tell me? Do put my address and the receiver? And do I send another envelope inside my original so they can send it back? Please reply.

Send a large envelope with the right amount of postage and you're address in the top left hand corner (return address) and the celebrities address in the middle on the envelope.

What to include:
-A letter
-A picture
-A paid return envelope with your address on it
-A Sharpie or pen (optional)
