Write a respectful, enthusiastic letter that states your reason for contacting him. When dealing with more formal channels of communication than social media, you should be as respectful as possible—especially if you want a response! Address him politely, use proper grammar and stylistic conventions, and state plainly what you are trying to say. This will make the chances of a response or acknowledgement higher.
- If you're a fan of his, you can send him something like fan mail and talk about the impact he has had on you.

-
Send business-related material as an email to his corporate email account. Branson's business email is richard.branson@fly.virgin.com. This account is connected to his business profile at Virgin, so it would be the best place to send mail regarding business ventures, either yours or his.
- Because this is a business email, however, it may be monitored and filtered by an assistant, so your message to him may not get all the way to him.
-
Send a more personal letter in the mail to his office address. He has talked about loving receiving mail before, so this may be a good way to write a more personal note.
