TTM Question: Anyone have advice and addresses for Mike Schmidt or Jim Rice?

I have only sent two TTMs in my lifetime, and that was Bill and Cal Ripken back in 1989 when I was 13 years old. Bill's came back signed, and Cal sent me back a stamped-auto postcard.

I have an item that I would like to get signed by Mike Schmidt and Jim Rice. I really don't know how to properly request an autograph TTM from these guys. I understand that I need to include a SASE, but what else should I include? Do I include a check for a certain amount? Should I include a hand-written letter? I've heard Schmidt can be tough, and he dislikes the whole autograph thing, but any info would help me out here. I would also love it if someone could send me an address for these two.

The item is a 1989 Topps box bottom with Schmidt, Ripken, Ryan, and Rice on it. I thought it was a cool piece, and all four players are HOF'ers that I loved to watch during my childhood. I figured it would be a fun project that I could keep in my personal collection. I have an idea how to obtain the other two guys, I just need some help with Schmidt and Rice. Thank you for any help!
