What to do when you are only half successful

Unread post by horus101 »

Today. I got in the post. A PP success. Which is bitter and sweet. Victory and defeat.

My question is this. I am going to try again in a few months. But how should I go about it. Do and write the same latter? Do I come clean and ask for an autograph. Explain I wrote to them before? Surely they can't remember all the letters, people and addresses.

What would you do?

Nothing, as you're likely to get the same reply, particularly if you sent the person something and you got the PP and your item back unsigned.

As it's PP, does that mean preprinted, as it's part of the photo, or pre-printed, as it was signed authentically beforehand en masse and sent out in response to requests?

Hi horus101 :)

I agree with Hartster :|

Use a via venue address, include a picture and a self addressed stamped envelope
