Hey tyra.
I am still young, but I REALLY want to be a singer.
People have always said how great a voice I had, and I've been performing since I was in the 1st grade. I used to model, but it wasn't for me. I take voice lessons, and I got the lead role in the school musical. I also write my own songs, and have been since I was about 7. I really really want to sing, and I get alittle nervous before I preform, but once I'm up there, NO ONE can stop me. I am just writing you becuase I would like to see what you have to say that might make my dream come true. I pray for this, and I love you and your show, so would I be bothering you for just the tinniest bit of advice? thank you thank you.

LOVE KIM

HELP!!!! I WANT TO HELP ABUSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN!!! I am researching info to apply for a struggling artist's grant. I want to paint a giant 52 piece mural to have a charity auction/dinner. Not gonna lie, I want to make a name for myself in the process:) that way I can do this all over again with my own resources, (All together my husband and I have 5 children to support on his tiny income alone)but my main dream is to raise money for a charity for domesticly and sexually abused children and their mothers. I want to help them get over their fear of leaving. It took a while but my mother got out of her abusive marriage when i was 14. It also took me a while to get out of my abusive marriage. Many of my closest family members and friends growing up were sexually abused. I want to make a difference because I am so sick of women and children being taken advantage of. Once I get the grant (if I get it :) ) the project will take a couple of years to complete. What I am asking of you is advice on where to have a fund raiser in New York City so I can find out how much money I will need to come up with to rent it for a night or two. I already have figures for my trip and hotel, supplies, and shipping the finished pieces to NYC. I just need a few more details before I can write up my grant proposal. If you could contact me by phone or snail mail:

-that would be great as I do not have a PC at home. I can't always make it to the library:) If you could help me realize my dream of helping women and children that have been through what I have I would be forever greatful. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Kari Poe

HEY TYRA
TO BEGIN WITH I LOVE YOU’RE SHOW AND ACCOMPLISHMENT INTO MAKING THE TYRABANKS SHOW. My name is Tracey. I am 13 years old with a VERY IMPORTANT DREAM. TYRA, I WISH TO BE A MODELL AND ACTRESS. I have always wanted to be an actress and model as long as i could remember. I wanted to be a MODEL when I was all grown up, but, since I have an opportunity now, why not take it. In school I have joined the Drama club and my teacher says am good. My friends/family have always advised me to become a MODEL. My Aunt used to be a MODEL. She advised me to be a MODEL, you have to have you're GRADES UP. And that is exactly what I have been doing. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WATCHING AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL and watching/listening to the advice MODELS are told by judges. TYRA, this has always been a DREAM for me. I live in Africa in a country called Kenya. I don't know who, where to go to, to become a model or audition. I have always watched you're shows and decided it is time to EMAIL TYRA.

As a teenager I have experienced alot of HARD DIFFICULTIES/SITUATIONS. The most difficult situation is when I was hit by a TRAIN when I was in fourth grade. I now have this phobia of TRAINS. Anytime I see/hear one I can't look at it because it reminds me of when we were hit. I can't even ENTER into a TRAIN.I THANK GOD for giving me another chance to live (THANK YOU GOD).

Being a Model for me has been my life. I have always practiced walking around with heels (even heels which are not you're exact size). I have always watched AMERICA’S TOP MODEL, and concentrating on their walks, personalities, advice, style, and beauty was the main purpose of watching AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL.

Four women and one man have inspired me in my life. I hang a picture of them in my wall to remind me never give up. My Mother, Father, YOU, FERGIE and BEYONCE. I do not know how much I will write saying how GREAT YOU ALL ARE. BEYONCE she started singing at such I young age. And now, married to JAY-Z, HAVING A UNIQUE TALENT, BEING ABLE TO COMPOSS, MODEL, and ACT. She is LUCKY to be who she is. TYRA, you have inspired me the most. You started MODELLING from being a swim suit model, to runways and now having you're own show. TRULLY AMAZING. FERGIE, WOW!! I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL, THE BEAUTY OF A UNQUE WOMEN, SUCCEDING IN MAKING HER OWN ALBUM ' THE DUTCHESS.' TRULLY INSPIRING. My PARENTS, always giving me that MOTIVATION. Always telling me to keep trying, and one day you will get their. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU ALL.

TYRA, please help me become a MODEL and ACTRESS. IT HAS BEEN A DREAM/WISH/EVERYTHING I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO.

YOU'RE BIGGEST FAN TRACEY.

Please Help me...
PLEASE

heyyy Tyra!
The one thing that i have always wanted to do is to go to New york and see a broadway play! To get a little makeover and just have a big night! I love it! :)

I know my wish is a bit selfish when I know that there are alot of people less fortunate that could really use a wish or two.
But I am a struggling photographer. I really have a hard time getting the equipment, etc. that I need to really get going. My business is going slow because of it. I feel a lack of confidence because I'm always making due with what I have. I'm an award winning photographer and would really love to be able to take extraordinary photos and edit like the pros. I truly love photography! I'm a wife and mother of 3 young boys. My husband just lost his job because of the company closing down and we are struggling because of it. I do get clients for photos but don't feel I have the right to charge them too much because of my situation. If you could help or give me advice on how to get the things I need to succeed, it would be greaty appreciated!!
Thanks Tyra for this wonderful opportunity!
Sincerely,
Dawn

The thought that fills my mind all the time is becoming a model and what that would mean for my family. I view modeling as a vehicle to transfer an emotional experience from one person's mind to the viewer. I am constantly amazed by the images I see of layouts, and how that creation all started with one single thought. It just takes the courage to put that thought into action, and, in doing so, people's lives are affected by what they see. Modeling can help you draw out feelings you didn't even realize were present. It can help you feel a connection with total strangers. It can help you imagine the possibility of a pristine, sparkling life. I long to be a part of it all, and to make others feel the way I have felt.
I am 5'11', 116 lbs. 30-25-34. I wear size 2/4 or 3 juniors. I make clothes look good and I draw attention. Not boasting, just fact, I do understand some of what makes this business work. I am not young, but I am a very young 32. I know there is a market for me, commercial or otherwise. This is my driving force. This has to happen. Please give me a chance like you have given others , changing their lives in the process. Thank you for your benevolence and willingness to listen.

Hi Tyra, my name is Jessica, I'm 15 years old, from Canada and I'm a big fan of yours. My dream is to meet Johnny Depp. He is such an inspiration to me (you too) and I just adore him. But there is a lot of people here with more deserving dreams so they deserve it first. Thank you for just being you!

Dear Tyra:

First and foremost, I would like to say that you are the "Best"! No, really and truly, I mean that. I know you probably hear that all the time but, I support you! I have always wanted to compose and sing gospel music. Perhaps makes a CD. I have imagined myself singing, if you will, with the great gospel singer Shirley Ceasar or the wonderful Yolanda Adams. I do not believe that a painfully shy person such as myself could actually do that but, guess what? I put it out there and told you. I wish you continued success with America's Top model and any other work you are doing. All the best to your staff and anyone who works with you.

Dear Tyra,
I'm Nathalie Beckley and I know what your thinking when you see this, oh dear another e-mail... but this isn't just a fan mail. you have been known about the things you do in my family. Especially your recent motives. i know and like what you do, watch your shows if its on. you have done good things for people. Not to beat around the bush, i will like to ask a request. hopefully if your the one reading this i might have a direct impact on your decision, but if its one off the staff, please have the patience to read this and pass this on to tyra. For some years now my mother Staneala whose a singe mother from Sierra Leone (West Africa) has been sick but not sick enough to knock on deaths door or so i thought. She has what i think they call thyroid, its basically the thyroid glands blowing up like a balloon. if not dealt with in time that balloon will pop and i guess i do not need to say the rest. i have been trying to get her to go and do the operation in a country that i can trust that they will do the job well. She has been reluctant to do anything because of her fear to go under the knife as well as the cost, but recently told me that she will do it. reading between the lines i 'm guessing it has gotten worse. In case you are wondering, i'm in college now in california, studying fashion design at the Academy of Art University. i'm doing an AA, which was not what we planned, but due to circumstances it came about . My mother works in the UN as an educationist, but will retire in a few of months, meaning that she will be not in a good situation to pay my fees as the UN payed 75% of the fees all this while. My mother is sacrificing her life by using the money that she should spend on her health on me. its not a good feeling being at college knowing my mother is sick and needs medical attention. i feel guilty, spoiled and rotten. She has taken care of my cousins years ago by putting them in good secondary schools and colleges and paying for it. She believes in education, especially when it comes to girls, which what her work is about. With that i would like you to ask if you can help me take the burden of my mothers shoulders and help pay for my fees for a year. i believe that she can use the money that will not be spent on my feels and go have real medical attention, She Actaully plans to go to the UK and have it there, but having linving in the UK once i know there dreadful cost of medical expenses if your not from there. please help me. its a lot to take into consideration, but i won't mind a helping hand.
Thank you for your patience and time.
sincerely
Nathalie Beckley
