Hey all whatz up? nothing much with me right just writing some letters to the cast of the gates. anyways i have lost all hope on getting something back from robert pattison i just resent to him to his uk fan mail but i doubt i will get anything. this makes me sad i was a big fan of his but i do not think i will get anything back.

You just have to keep being Patient!! There has not been a reply from him in quite a while and he just doesn't answer single requests. He does Mass mailing of letters. When you start to see lots of replies coming in for him yours may be on it's way. I've had to wait YEARS for some of my replies. Now with his popularity, fans may have to wait YEARS for a reply. He's literally got probably 30,000 letters to read. Specially of a lot of fans keep re-sending more letters to him. It just keeps building up. It's gonna take a bit.

Here's some interesting things Rob has said about his fan mail in interviews (whole interviews can be found online, just Google it):
From LA Times 2008 interview with Rob:

Do you read the fan mail?
Yeah. I do that quite a lot actually, because I get batches sent from London. I go through tons and tons of it at a time. I get sent some good stuff. I’ve gotten some really good books. I had this amazing thing made by a fan website, this really amazing bound book with all of these notes inside it. I mean, it must have taken ages to make. I remember thinking, "Why?" (laughs). But, no, it was amazing. Someone sent me a book I’m reading right now, a book of Charles Baudelaire poems. I thought, "Wow, I was going to buy that." That was nice.

Do you have a team that helps you wade through or do you go through it all yourself?
I go through it myself, but I think I might get them censored, because I’m always expecting to get the one thing that says, "I know where you live and I’m going to kill you!" I’m always expecting that to come, but it never seems to arrive. I never get any negative mail, so someone must be censoring them.

More recently, from Glamour Magazine (Germany) 2010:

Are you replying to fan mail by yourself?
I’ll try, yes. When I’m at home in L.A. or staying with my parents in London. Taking some time get on of those boxes, which stand over a year at the agency. So if somebody gets an answer by me it’ll be rather late. I do keep all of these letters but I cannot answer more than 40 in a row.

Quite different answers he gives: back in 2008, he was replying up a storm to most letters, but now, in 2010, he himself admitted that it simply got too much. However, don't give up - Rob is clearly aware of his mail and will reply when he has the time, he says he keeps all of the letters, so it will just take some time...

I think that is probably not possible for him to sign things for a while. I wouldn't completely give up, I'm sure when he gets a bit of time he might start again. But do remember this guy is receiving 1000s of letters. It's nice of him to even think about signing. Many celebrities just totally give up with fan mail at this stage. Just keep positive.

THANK YOU so much for posting that! Hopefully now every one will see that, Yes rob is still replying but it just takes a LONG time for a reply.

Never give up if you're a fan of his! He gets a RIDICULOUS amount of fanmail. I mean, he is pretty much the biggest male star around, at the moment. Just keep trying. He sounds really lovely in regard to his fanmail, so I'm sure you'll get a reply soon

[dueby_boys]

just because you arent getting your success back yet doesnt mean he isnt reading the fanmail. he gets 1000's of letters. like i told u last night you must be patient, period.
