Filling out a mailing envelope

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fill out a mailing envelope:

Step 1: Address the Envelope

• Write the recipient's name on the first line of the envelope, followed by their street address or post office box number.
• Use the correct title (Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., etc.) and any relevant suffixes (Jr., Sr., etc.).
• Make sure to include the apartment or suite number, if applicable.

Example: John Doe 123 Main Street, Apt 101 Anytown, CA 12345

Step 2: Add the City, State, and ZIP Code

• Write the city, state, and ZIP code on the next line.
• Use the correct state abbreviation (e.g., CA for California).
• Make sure to include the correct ZIP code, which is usually 5 digits.

Example: Anytown, CA 12345

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.

Example: Your Name Your Address Your City, State ZIP Code

Step 4: Add Any Additional Information (Optional)

• You can add any additional information, such as a phone number or email address, if you want to make it easy for the recipient to contact you.
• You can also add a note or a message to the recipient, if you want to include a personal touch.

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.
