Writing Your Fan Letter
1Start off your letter by giving a little 2-3 sentence introduction about yourself. Don't lie to make it sound better. Consider including some basic details such as your first name, what country/town you're from and your age.
Don't be afraid to tell a personal anecdote or story about how you were first inspired by their work or what their work means to you. Keep it short.
At the same time, avoid sharing too many personal details. Even though you might be familiar with this celebrity's work, this is still a stranger you are writing to.
You may want to start with writing a draft on the computer first and then using the finished draft to write a real letter.
2Say how it is you got to know about them. Was it through a friend? Radio? Maybe it was through a TV show or a movie that you happened to see at the cinema. Whichever it is, include a few sentences about that so that the celebrity will understand the connection.
3Write about how you feel about them. Are they good musicians? Actors/actresses? Do you have a huge crush on them? Tell them, although you might want to hold off on that last one! Express what it is you enjoyed about their work.
Be specific, honest and sincere with your praise.
If you're really stuck for ideas on how to approach this, you might find that it helps to check out some online examples of the types of things other celebrity fans have written - just to get an idea.
Alternately, if it's at all possible, ask somebody you know who's written a fan mail to a celebrity before for inspiration.
