Hey, just so you know, Johnny Depp sends autopens.
He does not authenticly sign the pictures, a machine does it for him.

Many celebrities answer fan mail by sending autographs back. Because of existence of the autopen, many fans may question the authenticity of an autograph if unable to witness it being made.

There are several telling characteristics which may reveal whether an autograph was made with an autopen:

Celebrities using autopen machines usually do not change their signature for one particular fan. Therefore, if the autograph is personalized (as in "To James, cheers, John Smith"), then it is highly probable that an autopen was not used.
Because autopen operators generally use only a single template, variation with other signature samples indicates non-autopen use. Stephen Beck has published many astronauts' autopens on the internet.1
An autopen's signature is slightly shaky as the autopen vibrates.
Autopens come to abrupt halt at the end and may leave a noticeable spot of ink.
Autopens do not always create an identical signature due to the machine moving accidentally.

- a few projects (movies/tv shows/ music) that theyve done that you
enjoyed.
- your name, and age
- include your address at the end, and politely ask for an autograph

Do not write-
- that you are there biggest or #1 fan
- do not over exaggerate how attractive the celeb is
- too much information about yourself, the celeb is probably busy and
doesnt have time to read all of that.

goodluck {up} hope you get some nice successes soon ! :)
Couldn't have said it better myself :)

I want to say "Thank You" to everyone of you, who helped me. But now, as always, I have a question or let's say a request. Would you mind scanning and posting an envelope and an IRC (if you have one). And if your are able to write on it the sender's adress and the recipient's adress, this will help me to know where am I supposed to write this adresses and how the envelope looks like (I have never sended a letter to USA). And if you scan and post an IRC it will be easier for me to know how it looks like. Thank you again!!!

You can also buy US stamps online (it is cheaper)
And if your are able to write on it the sender's adress and the recipient's adress, this will help me to know where am I supposed to write this adresses and how the envelope looks like (I have never sended a letter to USA). And if you scan and post an IRC it will be easier for me to know how it looks like. Thank you again!!!
You should ask your parents or someone at the post office to help you :)

I have one more question-are there some celebs who write you something (for example-a letter with 3 or 4 sentences) and what is the most polite way to ask them to write something for you? Thanks!!!

Some celebs do write a little something back but not all of them. What you can do is send them some questions (just a few) and asked them politely to answer them.

Remember don't ask them personal questions.

You can say in your letter. Would it be possible to please send me an answer to a few questions? then you can write your questions.

Hope this helps.

Hi again!!! I would like to ask you a question (as usual :) ) I live in Bulgaria. It's very small country, far away from America and Canada and I'm not sure that when I send a letter to a celeb, I will recieve it back. If someone knows something about that, please write to me!

If you include IRC's you should receive an autograph back.
