Format:
The standard format for addressing a mail is as follows:

- ZIP Code: Include the five-digit ZIP code for the recipient's location.
Additional Tips:
- Use a clear and legible handwriting style.
- Make sure to include the correct ZIP code, as this helps the mail carrier deliver the mail efficiently.
- If you're sending mail to a business, you can include the company name and department (if applicable) on the address line.
- If you're sending mail to a specific floor or suite, include that information after the street address.
- For international mail, you'll need to include the country name and postal code.
