About the Reference letters.

I have a ?... Do I tell my friends and family it has to be hand written? Or can it be typed and signed?
Thanks.

It probably depends on what your agency wants. I never even saw the letter our agency sent out to our friends and family until one of our friend's forwarded us his copy. There were specific instructions on the letter and it was more of a question/answer format, so it was handwritten.

I don't know much on this topic, but I noticed foreverluv's son's name is Strummer. I thought I'd chime in to say that I think that's brilliant!

Ours were question and answer too. I just typed up the questions in a word doc and emailed it to our references. Our agency just required that they sign it. Good luck!

Ours were more essay form, and all our references typed them (I know b/c they sent me copies). I didn't even consider that they might want handwritten actually, but no one ever complained that they were typed!

Thanks Mihoshi, we like his name too. Dh suggested it as a joke, and I fell in love with it immediately. He's named after Joe Strummer from The Clash and has already taken to playing dad's guitars, so we think we named him appropriately!
