(This is the letter that started it all. This is the first one I posted to my journal, and the first one that made me realize that I wasn't dealing with sane people anymore.)

(I replied and explained that I'm not Orlando, and that I'm just a fan, etc. A few days later, I received another letter from the same address.)

From: xxxxxxx@aol.com
Subject: I HATE YOU

YOU ARE A FAKE AND A PHONY AND WE HATE YOU , YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE NET FOR CAUSING GREAT INCONVENIENCE AND I HOPE YOU DIE. I WILL BE NOTIFYING AOL ABOUT YOUR WEBSITE.

(At first, I didn't realize that it was the same person, so I was baffled as to what I had done to this person that was so horrible. I replied:

Um...okay...why am I causing great inconvenience? What exactly have I done to deserve death?

And a few hours later, I recieved another reply:)

From: xxxxxxx@aol.com
Subject: RE: I HATE YOU

you said that the message that was to be sent on was to go to Orlando Bloom himself so that is why you should die, okay? bitch

(I ignored her, and that was luckily the end of that.)

Subject: Hi

Dear Orlando,

Hi! My name is Amanda XXXXX and i'm twelve years old. You are my favorite character in Lord of the Rings. I'm writing to you to tell you that I know I am too young for you, but you will always be in my heart. I wrote you a poem, but it is kind of weird. My father thought it was good and he said I should write it to you. If you don't like it, I will understand, but anyways here it is.

It is real short though:

My Poem of Love

I love Legolas,
Whats mine is his.
If I might give him a kiss,
I could become his.

All know
If I show,
My love for him will Grow..........

This poem is dedicated to you, Orlando Bloom as Legolas in Lord of the Rings. I hope you liked it and I hope you will write back to me. I know that I am too young for you, but you will always be in my heart forever. You are real cute in the movie and you are good with bow-in-arrows. So please send me something because I really want you to. Don't forget me as your Number 1 fan. There is no one that feels what I feel about you. I hope you will atleast become my friend. Bye!

Sincerly,
your number 1 fan,
Amanda XXXXX

P.S. Hugs and Kisses from a fan and friend.

orlando,
hi! i hope everything is doing well with you.
i am 14 years and i live in moses lake washington. it is a very small town. Many people here think of you as this hot, sexy guy. Infact my best friend thinks you are and knows many things about. i bet you get alot of emails saying like how big of fans they are. my email is not like that. I am a fan a fan of yours though. you are one of my favorite actors. i think your parts in the lords of the rings were played amazing. you got everything i would say perfect. but the first time i saw you on the screen was in the movie " BLACK HAWK DOWN." when i saw you in that movie i had to buy it. you were amazing in that movie. i just thought i would email you and say how much i loved how you were in the lord of the rings and in black hawk down... and if it is not to much to ask would you send an email to probably one of your biggest fans ever. Her name is Brenna XXXXXXX and her email is xxxxxx@gemsi.com. if you cant email her i understand you are probably very busy. well thanks for reading me and if you can reply me at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com.
thanks very much,
sincerly yours,
lacy xxxx
moses lake, washington
