Addressing mail envelope

The art of addressing a mail envelope!

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to properly address a mail envelope:

Recipient's Name

1. Write the recipient's name on the first line of the envelope, using the format: "First Name Last Name" (e.g., "John Smith").
2. Make sure to use the correct spelling and capitalization of the recipient's name.

Street Address

1. Write the street address on the second line, including the house number, street name, and any additional information (e.g., "123 Main Street, Apt 101").
2. Use the correct abbreviations for street types (e.g., "St" for Street, "Ave" for Avenue, "Dr" for Drive).

City, State, and ZIP Code

1. Write the city, state, and ZIP code on the third line, separated by commas (e.g., "Anytown, CA 12345").
2. Use the correct two-letter state abbreviation (e.g., "CA" for California).

Optional: Suite, Room, or Floor Number

1. If the recipient has a suite, room, or floor number, you can add it on the same line as the street address or on a separate line (e.g., "Suite 101" or "Room 202").

Example:

John Smith 123 Main Street, Apt 101 Anytown, CA 12345

Tips:

• Use a legible handwriting or print the address using a computer and printer.
• Double-check the address for accuracy before sending the mail.
• Use the correct postage and mail the envelope at a post office or mailbox.
• Consider using a return address label or stamp to make it easier to send mail back to yourself.

By following these steps, you'll ensure that your mail envelope is properly addressed and reaches its destination efficiently.
