Fan mail may be in the form of letters , cards , artworks , gifts , comments on social media accounts , and so on . People send fan mail to various public entertainers and public figures such as politicians , athletes , actors , artists , writers , singers , bands , coaches of sport teams , bloggers , and social media stars seem to be the main target . Responses can take a great deal of time to come or never come at all . Since a major celebrity or public figure may receive thousands of pieces of fan mail every day , it is usually impossible for him/her to reply to or read them all and as a result his/her or management team , often have the duty of canvassing the incoming mail . Directly after the 2001 anthrax attacks , some studios and agencies have refused to further take fan mail for safety and security reasons , and referred fans to alternate forms of contact
