What should I write to get a reply?

Question

I want to write to NY YANKEE Shelley Duncan... I am thinking of buying a picture and enclosing a pre-stamped and addressed envelope but How should I go about writing to him I am majorly obsessed but don't want to be like I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU because that would scare him away or would it??? Help me with Ideas on what to write.... Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Short, to the point, businesslike and complimentary.


Dear Mr. Duncan,

I've really enjoyed watching you play for my beloved Yankees. You've showed some real fire on the field and it has helped a lot.

Could you please sign the enclosed photograph and return it in the SASE? Something personal, whatever you like, "To ". If you have a favorite charity, I'll contribute $10 in your name, $20 if the Yankees make the playoffs!

Thanks so much, and I look forward to following your career.

Best wishes,
non-stalking, unobsessive fan

ps. Honestly I think the Yankees suck! GO BOSTON!!!

(You may want to leave off the postscript.)

Answer 2

I'm not sure if this happens in every city, but in Chicago, pretty much every big name player (even some who aren't so well known), schedule signings all over the place (Bears, Cubs, Bulls, Blackhawks). You can generally sign up to meet the player, shake hands, take a picture and get an autograph. Maybe you can check the Yankee's website to see if they do that in NY.

Answer 3

Dear Mr. Duncan,

Thank you for viewing my letter. I am a great fan of you and the way you play the game. I have enclosed a photo of you and would greatly appreciate if you would autograph it for me. Thank you for everything.
