Best voted letters to Mike Shinoda
Hi, Mike! I'm Sofia from Moscow and i am LP's fan since the beginning. Your music was not only the place where I felt I belong and where I could hide back in my school days, that were not so pretty, it also was a biiig boost for my own songwriting: LP is one of the few bands that have really influenced me yet when i was a kid and now more than 10 years I'm writing my own stuff and I've undergone lots of ups and downs and of course my biggest dream is to get heard! And it would mean a thousand worlds to me if you, exactly you, would take a moment and listen to a few of my songs. I can fancy how many people ask you for that, but I wouldnt do it if I didnt believe it worth it, I tried so much and have spend so much time makeing my music and I do think that you should listen to it! Please, there are NO WORDS to describe what it would mean to me if you do it. For so long I tried to find a way to send it to you, but I found out that hardly anywhere one is allowed to send unsolicited demos, so that's why I write this letter.
Please help me,
Sofia

Dear Mike,
I am Mae from Canada and I am a huge fan of you and LP. Your music with Linkin Park is just incredible. It has inspired me and has got me through some very tough times. When I found Linkin Park on Spotify, I found just the band I was looking for. It got me really into rock and I really found myself while I listened to it. The music style so unique and beautiful. I love all the songs on the LP discography but my fav album is Meteora. I told my friend about LP and she is a huge fan now. We really liked your “Mike’s Spikes” hair style from the OSC music video. When I learned more about the members, I listened to some of your solo music. Already over is so catchy and makes me wanna sing. Your solo album, Post Tramatic, is really awesome too. Over Again is such a powerful and sad song and it really makes me feel something. It is inspiring to see how much hard work you put into your career. Thank You so much for taking the time to read this letter. It mean so much to me.
I've just watched Chestar's answers to some of fan questions. And there was a question 'Where do you want to go?'. And I think if Chaster was alive he would wish to go to Ukraine! I wish Shinoda would agree with the same. I think Mike would understand what it would mean for thousands of people!
Hey,
I know yoy get a lot of fan letters but I'm hoping you can read mine. Just want to say first off, thank-you for your music, I listened to you as well as linkin park and you have amazing talent as a singer and rspper. Also the reason I'm having a hard time is because you guys saved my life, I was a cutter and suicidal but linkin park music helped me through, I even got a semi colign with angel wings for Chester. I am just very emotional and feel like I lost my best friend even if it was through your music, around this time I'm having trouble with trying to get over a loss that you only know deeply cause he was your best friend. I thank you for reading this letter and I hope you have many blessings in your life.
Forever a fan
Dear Mike
My name is Aleks. I'm 34.I'm from Ukraine. Now I live in Czech Republic due to war and those events happening in Ukraine...
Mr Shinoda, I've been a fan of Linkin park since 2005. You guys are absolutely great and the music you play is the best the world could ever hear. I'm terribly sorry to what happened to Chester... Mr Shinoda,can you do a favour to Ukraine? Could you come to Czech Republic to play a concert to support Ukraine? I can help you with singing some songs,and we'll be able to raise some money to save people who suffer at war...Please don't ignore me and this message
Hey Mike,
I just wanted to write you to tell you how much your music means to me, and how much it has touched me. Idk if u will even read this, but it'll feel good to get it out. When I was 19 my mother passed after a long battle with lung disease, I watched her deteriorate for 4years prior to her passing. She passed March 14. 2003. Ten days later Meteora came out, I listened to that album forever, it helped me in ways no one else could. Ultimately I went down a wrong, hard, dark path and I numbed myself with drugs and alcohol for the next ten years trying to cope with my lose. Fast forward to when I now have my children and have cleaned up my act so to say. Now I am grieving all over again because I never did it properly the first time, and it's harder now then it ever was then. Having 2 daughters and looking at them and seeing my mother, breaks my heart all over again. Then I found Post Traumatic, my favorite album ever, and I mean ever. It's like the tracks we're almost partially written for me. That album has gotten me through some very hard times and I can't thank you enough for that. All in all your music has guided me through half my life and it's amazing. So thank you man, thank you from the bottom of my soul for what you do, cuz without your music I'm not sure where I would even be right now.
You Fan, Dan Dasilva
Dear Mike,
Where do I begin? Well here goes... I have been a fan of Linkin Park and you since you all came to exist. Through the years I've always held a special place in my heart. See I suffer from Bipolar Manic Depression. Through the songs of you and Chester I have been able to isolate myself and feel the lyrics to my very core. It was in your music I was able to a little bit of salvation. When Chester died a part of me died, but I still held on to that hope. Listening and hearing the music taught me we all have our demons but as long as we face those demons we can stand proud. I wish to the very heavens that I could personally thank and Chester for saving me from my mental prison. It freed me from the shackles of life. For 2 to 4 mins at least. But I needed more so I would listen to the albums over and over. Here's my story. I am 41 yr old mother of 3 beautiful girls. I left an abusive marriage of 21 years. For the past 3 years I have dealt with a lot of loss. Losing a marriage with false promises. Like your lyrics say in Burn it down, I played soldier he played King, when I lifted him up he only held me down. But this time it's my turn to Wear that crown. Even though I'm getting a divorce and lost the respect and love of my girls through his lies and manipulation I'm still pulling thru. Today I took the the first step again to ask for help so now I will be attending day group therapy with a wonderful place called Laurel Ridge here in San Antonio TX. After I left the facility after my assessment the first songe I played was Burn it down. It must of been the grace of God, the angels, the universe where my playlist hit every emotion you can think of not to mention pump me up when I heard Remember the Name. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your music saved me yet again. The year Chester died I was supposed to see u guys in concert but of course after Chesters passing it was cancelled. I received a printed out ticket and the album as a token to remember him by. I had already seen y'all in concert before but I had to see Linkin Park one more time. Since I left my marriage I had left everything behind taking only what I needed. Although I no longer possess the album or ticket I can still keep my memory alive by playing your music over and over. I am forever greatful for you, Chester and Linkin Park. Thank you, thank you once more from the bottom of my heart.
Sending my Love and Admiration
