First Time Sending A Fanmail, Please Help!
Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2008 9:38 am
Do I introduce myself? I will anyway.
Hi there, I'm Monique!
I'm new to this site, and this kind of board is very confusing to me. Sorry if I'm a bit slow!
I've read many successes from fans who have sent Roger Federer fanmail, and I'd so love to send him one also and receive a reply!
I looked all over the internet, trying to find out what "IRC" means.
Answer I got = Internet Relay Chat
Hah! Then I figured out eventually that it meant International Reply Coupon!
I'm from Australia, how many IRCs would I need to send a letter to Switzerland?
Where would I put the IRC(s), paperclipped on the envelope, or inside the envelope?
I'm scared the IRC might get detached from the envelope if I paperclip it.
What size envelope would you recommend I post my letter in?
I was thinking about A5, and I should go bigger if I'm lucky enough to get a picture signed, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I'd be privileged if he would just read it.
Should I also put in a Self-Adressed Envelope? Folded in half or something incase?
Also, anything specific thing I should write in the letter, so I have a bigger chance of receiving a reply?
I definitely would like to handwrite the letter, but on what kind of paper? Lined paper?
How much writing is too much?
I've almost written an essay already here, so if anyone could help, I'd be so happy!
So is this all I need?
- IRCs
- Envelope (don't know what size!)
- Self-adressed envelope (enclosed inside the real envelope)
- Paper
- Stamps
If there's anything that I've missed, or any tips, please tell me. I'm so desperate to send one soon. To be honest, I'll be very sad if I don't receive a reply. I know I'm selfish, because he must receive thousands! But yeah...
Thanks!
