It's easy! Just type her email address where it says "To" write a few words in the "subject" box, a few more in the "message" box, hit "send" and you're done!

I believe the address below will be of use dear boy/girl. I have taken it from the link kindly provided by Lili. Now, if you follow the good advice given by Princess Beatrice, I'll wager there is little more left to do but hope the Empress replies. Quite frankly, I doubt she will help. Looks like a bit of a sourpuss to me.

The former empress has a website, and you may find a contact function on it. She may have a secretary who fields requests for interviews. See below.

You may not get a reply, or if you do, it may be negative. The former empress may not have time to give you first-person accounts of her life; she may confine herself to interviews with professionals.

You don't need "permission" to write about a public figure, but you need to be careful to be accurate and to avoid libel, assuming that you have any hope of publishing what you write.

Before you "wright" anything you should learn how to WRITE, don't you think?

Her Imperial Majesty has already written a narrative on her life and she certainly has no desire to relive her unpleasant memories to some wannabe writer like you.

If you want first hand accounts of her life I suggest you read "My Life With the Shah" by Her Imperial Majesty the Shabanou of Iran, Farah Diba herself.
