Want to send Chris fan mail but you're not from the UK? Here's how:

1. Acquiring the correct postage

Your local post office should have information on how much postage is. In the United States, it costs 80 cents to send a standard-sized letter. There are special international stamps that cost exactly that amount. Be sure to write 'air mail' in small but legible writing under the stamp.

2. Arranging for return postage to be sent

You can purchase "international return coupons" that can cover the cost of a letter sent from the UK to you. This is equivalent to sending stamps to ensure a return. Once again, your local post office has more information on this.

Hope this helped out!

Hi Lynn! I'm new to the site and I would like to know what a "smocker" is. I've never heard the term before but I hear it all the time on this site. Could you please tell me what it means?

Thanks!

Dee Very Happy

Well if you look around the site, you can pretty much figure it out. I accidentally read it on some one elses website. (hint hint)

Alright, I have a fanmail newbie question Embarassed

But how big does the envelope you include have to be?

Depends on what you want back. If you are sending him something larger than a normal envelope that you want signed, make sure it will fit in your return envelope. If you're just sending a regular letter, a regular return envelope will work just fine :]

I swear, this must be the stupidest question to ask, but I'll ask it anyway... *sweatdrop*

I reckon Chris receives a lot of fanmail, so what're the chances of him actually, like, touching the letter I send him? o_O;; Well, not touching, but seeing it, reading it, and realizing that I am a person who exists.... *stares* And having done that, what're the chances that he'll write back to me (assuming I send an envelope with return-postage)?
