What do you actually say in an email request?

Do you guys write an email request as you would a regular TTM one? i was just wondering because usually the email goes through the manager or representative. So im just want to know what do you guys write or leave out, comparing to a TTM request.

I write my emails just like I write my regular requests, I try to have at least 5 paragraphs worth. Lately I've been sending a lot of emails to band manager's and I pretty much tell them what I like about the band & what songs that I liked.

I also mention in my emails and letters that I checked out their official sites (If they have one) and tell them what I liked about it and maybe features they can add in the future.

So yeah, pretty much anything you want to tell them. {up}

I of course change around my request part, instead of tellng them I've included some items, I politely ask if they can send me a signed photo for my collection. Make sure to include your name and address at the end.

I generally say the same sort of things as in a letter, but usually try to keep it shorter and make it a bit more snappy.

I write email requests in pretty much the same way except for the fact I dont write directly to the celebrity (e.g "I'm a huge fan of your work) I just write about them (e.g I am a huge fan OF ___Name___). But other than that it is the same.
