I would advise that if you are going to write, write simply because you want 
someone to read what you have written, and not in expectation of a response. 
It is likely that you will receive nothing at all. Many agencies have systems 
set up to reply to fan-mail and many times the 'star's' never even see such a 
letter. Sometimes you will get an autographed photo pulled from a stack of 
such for sending in a fan letter.

This is certainly not written to dissuade you from writing. But write for the 
content and what you'd like whoever reads it to take from the letter, not 
because you expect a response.
