fan letter
Note to idol
A fan letter is a letter written to a celebrity, author, athlete, or other public figure expressing admiration for their work.
Before email and social media, fan letters were the primary way ordinary people communicated with famous ones: She kept every fan letter she received during her years on Broadway.
The practice continues, though mostly digitally now.
