How To Write A Letter?

How to write a fan letter?

  • I want to write a fan letter to one of my favourite actresses - Lauren Drummond (she plays Chantelle in Holby City and Mika in Waterloo Road). I've got the address and everything I need but Im just really stuck with what to say! I don't wanna write a really long soppy letter saying how much I adore her acting cos that would just be weird! But I also don't want to just write a small one page thing cos that will loom pathetic!! Have any of you ever written a fan letter or do you know anywhere I can read samples? And can you please just give me some advice, what to write, how to lay it out? Thanks in advance :D!

  • Answer:

    I've actually written tons of fan letters in my life time and I've noticed that your skill in fan writing progresses over time. A good website is http://www.fanletters.com/ They have fan letter samples and tips that you can follow. I personally recommend sending a fan letter to someone less important first and see how you feel about that letter and then fix the mistakes that you think you made on the letter to improve your next one to Lauren Drummond. I also think that you should compliment her for her acting but not in a mushy "fangirl" like way. Instead, use your wording carefully and make sure that your grammar is correct. If sending by mail, make sure to either print it or have neat handwriting. If sending by computer, then make sure to use spell-check and grammar-check. Make it in paragraph form and to make sure that the paragraphs are sorted by topic. Don't make each paragraph shorter than 3 sentences though because it'll look informal. Sorry if I have bad English. It's not my first language :P Good Luck on your letter! ^_^
