YES:)
First off, be short and sweet. I usually am polite as possible starting with Dear Mr or Ms and their last name
Then sign it with thank you kindly in advance.

Also mention a few of the things you like of theirs, in the chance they really do read it you never know what they might say. I mentioned things in a letter to deidrich bader that made me think he had to of read it.

I usually don't use two big envelopes. I fold one in to three (the bigger) and put in a normal envelope.

I always write on the back *Address Correction & Forward (a tip I received from someone years ago myself)

When doing over seas I either have it sent from the post office with the right stamps or just put a bunch on and write AIRMAIL on it

Some of these seem obvious or not a big deal but hey its my two cents:)

also be honest with them and never end a letter saying your hi or her biggest fan or your #1 fan. I'm sure they get alot of letters ending that way.
