Letter mail address format

The standard format for a letter mail address is as follows:

Recipient's Name Street Address or Post Office Box City, State ZIP Code

Here's a breakdown of each component:

1. Recipient's Name: The name of the person or organization receiving the mail.
2. Street Address or Post Office Box: The physical address or post office box number where the mail will be delivered.
   • Street Address: Include the house number, street name, and any additional information like apartment or suite numbers.
   • Post Office Box: Use the format "PO Box [number]" instead of a street address.
3. City: The city where the recipient is located.
4. State: The two-letter abbreviation for the state where the recipient is located (e.g., CA for California).
5. ZIP Code: The five-digit postal code for the recipient's location.

Example:

When writing a letter, make sure to include the recipient's name and address on the envelope, and use a clear and legible handwriting style.
