How to fill out envelope to mail

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

Step 1: Address the Envelope

• Write the recipient's name on the first line of the envelope, making sure to spell it correctly.
• Write the recipient's street address or post office box number on the second line.
• Write the city, state, and zip code on the third line. The city and state should be separated by a comma, and the zip code should be on its own line.

Example: John Doe 123 Main Street Anytown, CA 12345

Step 2: 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 to someone and want to ensure it can be returned to you if it's undeliverable.

Example: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip]

Step 3: Add Any Additional Information (Optional)

• If you're sending a package or a letter that requires special handling, you may need to add additional information such as:
  • "Fragile" or "Handle with Care" if the contents are delicate.
  • "Do Not Bend" if the contents are prone to bending or creasing.
  • "Signature Required" if the recipient needs to sign for the package.

Step 4: Seal the Envelope

• Once you've completed the address and any additional information, fold the envelope flap over and moisten it with a damp finger or a sponge.
• Press the flap down firmly to ensure it adheres to the envelope.

Step 5: Affix Postage

• Make sure you have the correct postage for the weight and size of your envelope.
• Apply the postage stamp or stamps to the top right corner of the envelope.
• If you're using a metered mail service, you can print the postage directly onto the envelope.

Step 6: Mail the Envelope

• Take the envelope to a mailbox or post office and deposit it in the mail slot or hand it to a postal worker.
• Make sure to check the postage and address before mailing to ensure it's correct and complete.

That's it! By following these steps, you should be able to fill out an envelope correctly and mail it to its destination.
