Private and Personal?

[Johnny's Fan]

Should you always add that when you send a request to people or not? Do the agents at the other end ignore anything with P&P on it and pass it on directly to the person who's autograph you want?

I can't really remember what I used to do when I wrote to people.

Hi johnny's fan

To tell you the truth..

Some people take for example David Tennant, his PA opens all fanmail and then they take a pre signed item they put your name at the top and send it back to you.

Other like Bernard cribbings I get the impression he reads fanmail.

But im sure all PA's open mail, I think some check for if someones sent them something nasty and rude etc.

In a nutshell I dont see no point in writing private and personal on the letter, sorry

Hey there!

Thanks for the advice. I wasn't too sure myself but I read somewhere else on here that you should put that, and I just wasn't really sure if it was needed.

I'm kinda hoping most of the people I send requests to will want to read what I send anyway. And you're probably right about any nasty letters. I would employ someone just to check that! Reading an insulting letter over breakfast would not be a good thing to happen.

Thanks again {thumb2}

Intrestingly, on the BBC website, for torchwood, and some other shows, it asks you to add those very words, when writing to one of the stars for an autograph.

I didn't know that auto Ive writen loads with out adding that =(

Johnny's fan. What I do is write even if I know they wont read it. If I was a celeb I would have a sample delivered to me a month so like 20 letters to have a nosey at and feel good about my own work, and in my opinion I think a few do that. So you never know. {love} It's always worth writing that little bit more.
