SAE to the USA from the UK?

Post by Fanmailfan319 »

To me it seems silly and rather insulting to send an SAE. Most people in the public eye don't mind paying the shipping costs. It can get costly but WE are the ones who made them rich in the first place!

Make sure you let them know that in your letter so can get the responses from them you deserve: 0.

If I spend money and time on their products, it's the least they could do. An autograph is nothing. Without the general public, these people would be nowhere.

"I received 50,000 letters asking for my autograph this month, I deserve to be paid more," said no celebrity ever.

YOU are asking them for a favor - their autograph. It's only polite to make things easy for them (and for everybody else who's asking for an autograph) by sending a postage-paid and addressed mailer for your item to be returned (you DID send them an item rather than expect a photo to be signed for you, yes?)

There are people and organizations who provide photos as well as pay for postage - such as current NASA astronauts - but they are few and far between.

BTW, studios pay the salaries of actors and actresses, music labels of singers. The general public doesn't pay their salaries. When they were starting out and the general public knew little about them, they still got paid.
