Notice how he never mentions me by name?

How are you doing today? I'd like to thank you for taking time out of your day to read this. I am a 18-year old student at North Andover High School who loves basketball, football, all sports in general, comic books, cartoons and writing. I plan on going to college one day and becoming a writer of some sort, maybe a sports journalist. My hobbies consist of playing sports like basketball, playing some Texas Hold ?Em, hanging out with friends and family, reading comic books and listening to music. I am a really big fan of yours! Your work is absolutely amazing! I really enjoy looking at your art! No words can really describe what I think of your work, but all I will say is this: your work is outstanding and I would keep on doing it for as long as you can if I were you!

By any chance, would I be able to get a piece of your artwork that has your autograph on it? It would be a huge honor and I would truly appreciate it! I respect you with the uttermost respect and this would be amazing to have your autograph! You are amazing and I hope you keep on doing this for years!!!!

Here is my mailing address:

I would really appreciate it if you could send me something signed, because I am a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE fan of yours! I would go nuts in excitement if I ever got an autograph back from you!! I am unable to be able to send anything to you because my family and I are having an extremely difficult time with money. I would appreciate it if you would understand that since the economy is horrible these days. Not trying to get an autograph out of pity;I'm just saying I won't be able to send anything to you. This is going to my personal collection. I am not selling this. No intent on selling this artwork at all.

Thank you for taking time out of your day for reading this! If you need me, you can e-mail me at blabla@yahoo.com. Have a great day!


Your fan,
blabla

Hmm.... seems to me, his time would be better spent trying to get a job than trying to obtain free artwork.

Form letter? I've done some fanboy gushing in my day and I'm ALWAYS specific if I'm a fan of somebody.
