[quote="cineramax"]Hi Barry

I didn't even send any postage to Zico, I'm in the UK, I just apologised in my letter saying i coudn't get Brazilian stamps or postage coupons cos i live in a very small place. Plus our post office is pretty hopeless and a bit rude even sometimes, saying nobody uses the coupons so they dont get them. So you could probably do the same if you find it hard to get hold of them too.

Outgoing i just put 76p in stamps on my C5 envelope. I think thats the rate from UK to Rest of world for that size envelope. For them to send back you can send them the International Reply Coupons which you can get from bigger post offices. I used to send 2 of these coupons, when i managed to get them, but i'm finding it hard to get hold of them where i am so most of the time i just apologise and say i can't get them. Alternatively a few times i've also got US dollars or Euros from a money exchange shop and just included $2 or 2 euros.

Most of the time tho, i've found a quick line apologising for not sending postage still seems to get a reply tho.

Hope that helps :-)[/quote] thanks very much, rounding up all the british based celebs i like then going to hit the rest of the world, very detailed response, much obliged. p.s. if u have any info or secret knowledge to share for footballers PM me please.

Great Success :D

amazing success, how much does it cost to send a request overseas? including SAE. i live in scotland and have so far only ever sent requests to british based celebs.

Hi cineramax :)
