JAMES FRANCO SUCCESS - He wrote me a whole note!!!

Hello all! ;) *shaking*

MY BEST SUCCESS EVER!!! :D

Oh my dear goodness, I cannot BELIEVE what I am holding in my hands - it really can't be... James Franco actually wrote me a whole note on my blank card I sent him!!! {love}

Let me start at the beginning. So, I am HUGE fan of James's since I first saw him in "Spiderman" and I've tried writing to him so many times via venue without luck. So, with the kind help (as always!) from two dear friends of mine, they got me two VV address for James: "Your Highness" and "Eat, Pray, Love". So, as the fangirl that I am, I sent to both addresses the very same day as I got them! And as time went by, I actually forgot I sent to him and also, if I were to get a reply, I probably wouldn't ever get it because of the postal strike in SA (which ended yesterday).

After my mom went to the doctor (she's really sick, but I pray that she'll get better soon), we quickly picked up some things at the supermarket, and as we got to our home, I went to check the mailbox, expecting my reply from Channing Tatum. I pulled out a small white SASE of mine, and when I saw it's from the USA, I though "it's Channing!". But then something strange I saw: a return address for "Eat, Pray, Love" - James film!!! "This can't be, I mean, no way!" I threw all the rest of the mail right there on the floor, and ripped the envelope open, and I can't remember what happened next because I went unconscious - no just kidding, but everything went blurry when I saw my blank card! James Franco actually wrote me an entire note, he seemed to love my letter *faints*!!!

Here's the details:
I sent: A letter, blank card and SASE.
Date sent: 5 August 2009
Date Received: 8 September 2009
Address used:
James Franco
"Eat, Pray, Love"
Eat, Pray, Love LLC
176 Grand St., 4th Floor
New York, NY 10013
USA

*ADDRESS NO LONGER VALID*

Scans:

I received: my blank card back signed, no wait, rather written on by James!!! ^_^ He wrote: "Lizanne, I can't thank you enough for your kind words... Work has been hard but it is letters like yours that keep me going Back -> Good luck at school and all the best! Yours Truely James Franco".

I cannot believe this, needless to say: my very best success ever!!! I love James and I think he is easily one of the best actors today, and I really cannot wait to see him, along with Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem, in "Eat, Pray, Love"! What an amazing guy - me = fan 4 ever ha ha! {??}

Thank you SO, SO, SO much Larisie (and Chrissy for the updates!) for this address and all of your kind help, yet again - you girls ROCK!!

Enjoy!
