I'm no expert on writing fan mail, I'm still trying to figure out what to write to Kathryn myself.  But the advice I can give is: Don't over-gush on how much you like her. That would seem creepy and stalker-ish. ex) Don't do this: "Oh my gosh,oh my gosh, I looooove your work on Cold Case and I really watch the show all the time and I love all of your other stuff" See what I mean? The approach I'm taking is to let it be known that I am a big fan, but without sounding........I can't think of a word. And, don't write an epic. Keep it short and sweet, but not too short, or it might seem like you don't care. But it would be a little of an inconvenience if Kathryn had to sit down and read a letter that was three pages long, front and back.  As for the typing/handwritten thing, I'm not sure which is best, but you might want to go for typed. It looks nicer, and is easier to read. I hope this helps.  |

Should i handwrite or type it? I'm no expert when it comes to fanmail, not by a long shot... but the general rule that I've heard is - if your handwriting is good, hand-written can add a nice personal touch; if your handwriting isn't great, it's best to stick with typeface. |

I've been wrestling with that quandary myself. Handwritten would be better, making it more personal, but typed would make sure it was readable. |

Thanks for all the advice. I think i am going to handwrite it-because handwriting is more personal. I don't want my letter to look ike a formal legal document, I am going to try to write very neat though. Also, i'm debating whether or not to include and envelope etc for the autographed picture for if i get a response. Do you think it would be rude to ask for an autograph in the letter? i don't think i would need to provide postage an envelope, as im sure they can afford a few cents,but maybe that's a requirement. what results did you guys have when you sent your letter? Thanks Sam |

I sent a letter to Kathryn a few months ago and I received a photo of Kathryn (Lilly) with her autograph. I cannot scanner the photograph but I can reproduce for you the few words written. To Cecile
Thank you for your sweet note and for the sincere support of my work. I love France and hope to enjoy it again soon !
Warmest wishes.  How long you waited for letter? edit: Today I send my letter to Kathryn  I hope she send me her autographs. |

Awesome im writing mine tommorow maybe. I haven't had any time and plus i still dont know what to write. I struggled to know what to write. I tried to keep it simple and just congratulate her on her work so far, wish her the best for her future work, and, of course, say how much I liked to see the happier Lilly because it meant more smiles ;D It came across a bit dry so I embellished it a bit. I probably got a little gushy  How could I not, I think she's amazing  I followed irishkale's instructions HERE. Being in America probably means you need to that even less than I do. I didn't ask. If she/they chooses to respond then that will be great but I have not send the letter expecting anything, apart from a restraining order Of course I'm hoping for something |

Kathryn's gonna get a sudden influx of fanmail from people on here.  I already have a few other actors and actresses I'm sending mail to, I can now add her to the list. |
