Step 3: Add the Return Address (Optional)
- If you want to include a return address, write your name and address on the top left corner of the envelope.
- This is useful if you're sending a letter or package that may need to be returned to you.

Step 5: Seal the Envelope
- Once you've completed the address, seal the envelope by moistening the glue strip on the flap and pressing it down firmly.
- Make sure the envelope is securely closed to prevent contents from spilling out during transit.
That's it! With these steps, you should be able to fill out a mailing envelope correctly and efficiently.
