A fan letter is a way of letting a famous person know that you like what they do.You should tell the person your name, why you like them, and how they've touched your life in your letter.It is still worth trying, even if you don't get a response back.Contact the person through social media if you want to get a response.
Step 1: Introduce yourself.
Tell the person your name and why you are writing in the beginning of the letter.Are you a fan of their music or their movies?Do you want to be like them?Did they help you deal with the problem?Let your true feelings be known.You could say, "Hello, my name is Nicole."You could say, "Hello, my name is Alex, I love your music, it helped me get through a really hard time."You can say, "Hey, I'm Michael, and I play basketball and want to be a great player like you one day."I have read all of your books.
Step 2: Why do you like them so much?
Tell the person why you like them.They have had an effect on your life.Be specific as possible.You could say, "I watch all of your games on TV" if you were writing to your favorite athlete.If you are writing to your favorite singer, you might say, "I love all of your music, but "Confident" is awesome."If you were writing to your favorite author, you might say, "Hermione is my favorite character."I can relate to her.
Step 3: Say thank you.
Thank the person for what they do and for taking the time to read your letter.If the person wants to write back to you, you should include your contact information at the end of the letter.You can say thank you for reading my letter and for making great music.Your contact information should include your name, address, city, state, and zip code.
Step 4: You should keep your letter short.
A lot of famous people get fan letters.A short letter is more likely to be read by them.Your letter should be one page or less.
Step 5: You can use neat handwriting.
When writing a letter, take your time.The person should be able to read what you wrote.You can type the letter if you don't have good handwriting.If you want your handwriting to be easy to understand, have someone else read it.Also have this person look over your writing.
Step 6: You can decorate the letter or envelope.
The letter can be decorated with stickers or small drawings.Write on colored paper or in colored ink.Send a drawing as a gift.Some celebrities display fan art or letters on their social media pages.If you put in extra effort, you may get a shout out.
Step 7: You can ask for an autograph.
It does not hurt to ask if you will get one.If you want the person to sign the photo, you can send it.If you are sad about not getting back, don't send anything.If you only have one thing, send a copy instead of the original.If you don't get it back, you will not be upset.You don't have to give the person something to autograph.Don't demand that they send you an autograph, just say, "I would love an autographed picture of you" or "Could you please send me a picture?""You better respond or you won't be my favorite anymore" or "Send me an autograph after you read this letter" are not acceptable.Do not be upset if you don't get an autograph.It has nothing to do with you.They can't respond to every request.
Step 8: Talk to an adult.
Your parent, teacher, or trusted adult can help you with your letter.If you want to be more independent, write the letter first and then have an adult read it.They can give you suggestions to improve your letter.An adult can help you find the contact information and send the letter.
Step 9: Find their phone number.
A personal website is the best place to find contact information.Carefully read the information.Some celebrities have addresses for fan mail.You may be able to find the manager's address if you can't find an address for the person.Some celebrities have websites that are official fan club websites.The address is from the official website.
Step 10: The envelope needs to be addressed.
In the top left corner of the envelope, write your name, address, city, state, zip code, and country name.The celebrities address is in the bottom right corner of the envelope.If you are sending international mail, you should include the name of the country.Make sure you have the right address.Write your address on the envelope.If there is an issue with the letter, the post office can return it to you.The country you are sending it to will affect the format of the address.If you were writing to a person in the United States, you should write to Joe Celeb.If you were writing to a person in France, Joe Celeb is located in Paris, France.If you were writing to a person in South Africa, you should write to Joe Celeb 100 famous Dr.Attach a self-addressed envelope to your letter if you want an autograph.It will be easier for them to reply.
Step 11: Enough postage is required.
Put your letter in the envelope.You should have enough stamps on the letter.The post office will not deliver your letter if you don't have enough stamps.You should check with a parent if you have enough postage.If your letter is heavy or being mailed overseas, you will need more than one stamp.
Step 12: Do not expect a response.
Send the letter to express your opinion about the celebrity.They can't reply to every letter they get.If they don't respond, do not be sad or angry.It will probably take weeks for it to arrive if you get a response.
Step 13: Use social media.
Most celebrities use social media.You are more likely to get a response if you use one of these methods.Comment on a picture, reply to a post, or send a direct message.If they interact with their fans, check their social media pages.Fans that have gotten a response try to use the same methods.If you notice that the person replies more on the social networking site, then it's time to go to Twitter.
Step 14: You can send an email.
Some people prefer emails over letters in the mail.If they have an email address listed for fan mail, check their website.The information in your email should be the same as in a handwritten letter.Limit your emails to no more than 4 or 5 sentences.
Step 15: Do not be annoying.
There are many ways to get in touch with people.It's tempting to use all of the methods to get a response.This will make you look weird.Don't send a handwritten letter if you send an email.Don't send a direct message on social media at the same time.You don't have a chance of getting a reply if you contact a person too much.
