How to fold a mail
Folding a letter or an envelope can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I'm here to guide you through it. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fold a mail:
Folding a Letter:
- Lay the letter flat: Place the letter on a flat surface with the address side facing up.
- Fold the top edge: Fold the top edge of the letter down towards the bottom edge, creating a straight line. The fold should be about 1-2 inches deep, depending on the size of the letter.
- Fold the sides: Fold the left and right sides of the letter towards the center, making sure the edges are aligned and the corners are crisp.
- Fold the bottom edge: Fold the bottom edge of the letter up towards the top edge, making sure it is even with the other three edges.
- Tuck in the edges: Tuck the edges of the letter inwards to create a neat and compact fold.
Folding an Envelope:
