Is this a good fan letter?

(It's to Benedict Cumberbatch)

Hi!:) I hope you're having a good day! Or evening, or whatever time you read this letter. I'm Emma, a 15-year-old (almost sixteen) writer and extreme Sherlockian from Texas. I'm a huge fan of yours (not a crazy, stalkerish one though, don't worry) and I wanted to take a bit of time and write this out for you to read, hopefully. And I do wish it's not too tedious and long. I tend to spill out everything on my mind and heart, though, so it might be. Apologies for that.

I first saw Sherlock at my grandmother's house. We flicked on the television on a rainy day and I asked for her to search for Sherlock Holmes things (I'd been a fan of Sherlock Holmes for a few months before discovering Sherlock on PBS) and we found it on Netflix. Seeing the first episode, I freaked and immediately begged to watch the others available at the time. It's a brilliant show, but I know you hear that a bunch. I thought you were so talented and handsome, so I watched a few other things that you're in and now I'm a really big fan, suffering the feels of seeing the recent finale of season three.

Just to say, I will admit Sherlock has shaped me. While I was a fan of Sherlock Holmes, I wasn't to the point I am now. Watching Sherlock made me have the urge to pursue getting a degree in forensic science and psychology when I grow up. And seeing you act has made me want to do a bit of theatre. Cool thing, actually, I just got the lead as a private detective in the school play!

There's definitely something that makes you better than all the other celebrities out there. You're probably the only celebrity I'm an earnest fan of, to be honest. Besides the Imagine Dragons crew, but they're in music stuff and you're on the television and the big screen. Anyway, you're not only talented and strikingly prepossessing, but you seem to be a good, down-to-earth and extremely pleasant person to be around. I'd kill (not literally, no need to try and go Sherlock Holmes on me or anything, haha) to have a conversation with you. Just knowing you will read this makes me feel happy. I hope that if you're having a bad day, you feel better after reading it, if it's possible. I hope it will make you smile. You're a wonderful person. I hope you have the very best life.

I'm not expecting any response at all, that wasn't the main purpose, but I would still absolutely love that too. Just in case you feel the urge I put a self-addressed, stamped envelope in here for your convenience. If you found the want to, then I'd appreciate it more than words can say, but again that wasn't my intentions.

This is getting long. I'll wrap it up, now, then. I wish you the very best of luck on your future endeavors and roles, and I hope you have a fulfilling life, full of fun and happiness:)

Sincerely, from your sanest fan,

Emma

(Just tell me if there's anything I need to change and if it would be appealing to you.)
