Dear Kevin,
Me and my [insert family member] really love your movies, well, we don't like Dogma, and we haven't seen Clerks, but I like Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and i saw Chasing Amy on TV a while back and my friend likes it and i saw you on TV once and thought you were really funny, and i watched that thing you did on the Tonight Show last month, (are you going to do more? is that going to become like a regular thing?). Anyway, me and my [family member] were wondering if you're ever in [remote place] would you come to my house for my [person]'s birthday party, because i really like your film and also if you could send me your autograph i would really love that, thanks.
