It was actually very interesting. In my letter I mentioned that I collect Monaco postage stamps. I was happy with the photo to put in my collection. Several weeks after the photo came, another envelope from Monaco arrived. In it was a beautiful red stock book with the Monaco coat of arms in gold on the front. Inside, it was filled with Monaco stamps. Also, there was a little card from the Monaco Philatelic Museum that had another set of stamps in it. There was a letter (in French), from the President in charge of the Palaces stamp collections, that said (roughly) "In response to your letter of May 12, I am pleased to give you and exceptional title of which only a few were made. Some stamps issued by the Principality of Monaco. By your good reception, I remain sincerely yours."
