And I also wonder if there are some generally accepted rules for writing an autograph request letter?

I think I can help you. Are you looking for a service that would get essay help online? Sending a letter requesting an autograph is an effective way to obtain it at a distance.
First advice, write thank the celebrity, for the time spent on the reading of your letter. Second thing, be original with compliments and then just ask for an autograph. Be sure to include a return address.

It is rare to find an autograph collector that knows they will never want to sell their collection in the future. If you actually see the bid prices compared to the actual buy prices on personalized items versus non-personalized you will see they always sell for 35% of the book value as nobody wants those for full price. You have made your collection far less valuable then you would like to think. But then always asking for them personalized you don't have any intention of them ever being worth much to anyone but you I guess.

Unless I go flat broke one day, I don't think I'll ever have the need or desire to.sell mine... Sooo yes, I really don't care about their "value"

I agree. Most of the time I just send a picture and sase without a letter and get most of mine back. They don't have time to read all these letters.

In all my requests I ask them to personalize it to me. Id say 80% of my requests have been returned personalized too me, so that proves a decent amount read them (atleast too the ones I.send too)

I always wonder the same.

But I put in mine;

"Hi ____,
My name is ____ and I'm a huge fan. I've been a fan for ____ years, having became a fan when _____."

I then go on to say which of their work I love the most, and tell a story of how its affected me. For example, I sent a letter to somebody the other day telling them how their song inspired me, and how it did so.

I then go on to say "I know you're really busy, but please could I have a signed picture "To Daniel" ? I've included a SSAE for your convenience."

and then I thank them for reading and taking the time to reply.

and I leave my address at the bottom, and say thankyou again.

When most people get themselves a standard template that works they usually use it for all their celebrity autographs. Most don't give their real templates out because they don't want someone else writing the same thing and then their letter isn't unique.

Depending on how many celebrities you write a month it saves hours knowing the format you want to use.

Do a google search for the person you want to write to, note down some of the films etc they have been in ,then mention some of their work in your letter to them. stating one in particular was your favourite ( mention that one by name more so if they won an award for that film/tv work) everyone loves flattery so lay it on thick and im sure they will reply to you
