HOW TO WRITE A SUCCESSFUL

FAN LETTER

Writing your favorite celebrity can be a fun and rewarding experience. However, there are a few things to remember when writing to be sure that you get the best response possible. Here the best tips and tricks that have been time-tested and proven to work:

• Always send a self-addressed stamped envelope. The abbreviation for this is "SASE." Enclose a folded 8x10 manila envelope, pre-addressed back to you with the proper postage (usually 2-3 stamps.) Use your address as the return address. Enclose this along with your letter and photograph (more on this later) in a 9x12 manila envelope. Make sure that you weigh the total package at the post office to ensure correct postage.

• Celebrities will often enclose a photo of themselves, but to help maximize responses, it is a good idea to enclose a photo of your own.
  This can be any type of photo, even one torn out of a magazine will do.

• DO NOT send food, money, or gifts to celebrities.
  They do not appreciate receiving a large package in the mail. If you don't understand why, the key words are: mail bombs!

• It is a also a good idea to enclose a few 3x5 blank index cards.
  Only enclose a maximum of three - more is asking a little too much. Celebrities will usually return these, and they're a great addition to your collection. They are also great to trade with friends and other autograph collectors.

• Always include a letter acknowledging the actor's accomplishments.
  Constructive criticism is okay, but be assured that non-constructive criticism will result in your letter ending up in the trash!

• If you are writing to a celebrity in another country, include three to four International Reply Coupons (IRCs) in the envelope as return postage.

• Research the celebrity's biographies and works.

• Include personal information about how much you like them and that will make them all the more willing to reply.

• Preferably type your letter, or at least write it neatly.

• Keep it short, and get to the point quickly.

• Kindly ask for an autograph, but do not beg.  DO NOT write anything that you would be embarrassed for someone else to read, because that will probably be the case.  

• Double-space, and remember to include your name and address on the letter.

• Check your spelling!

The hardest part about collecting autographs and getting replies through the mail is the wait.  Some celebrities will respond immediately, but some can take up to a year! As a general rule, you should allow four to eight weeks to receive a reply. The rule here is to BE PATIENT!
 

SAMPLE LETTER (vary to reflect your own personality):

Dear Heath Ledger:

I have been a fan of yours for years, and have enjoyed your many films.
My favorite is _________________________ .  

I was wondering if you would mind sending me your autograph. I have enclosed a SASE for your convenience. I hope to hear from you soon, and deeply appreciate your generosity in fulfilling this request. Thank you.

Sincerely,

[Your name, signature, and mailing address]
