Oh~ Congratulations for your success~!
But I want to know why you sent him $20.
Why did you do it? If someone get it, the money is mandatory? I want to know the reason. If I send some photos, an international reply coupon, an envelope along with letter to him, I fail to receive his autograph? Please let me know the reason!

I asked Pele in my letter to use the $20 for the return postage to the USA. (I'm sure it's a bit of an inconvenience) I'm not sure what it would cost, and didn't want to be short. Also, I've seen some successes, where people sent him $10 for the autograph request. So, I thought the $20 would cover it.
