Mail address c/o

The "c/o" abbreviation!

"C/o" is short for "care of," and it's often used in mailing addresses to indicate that the mail should be delivered to a specific person or organization on behalf of someone else.

Here's how it typically works:

• The "c/o" is written after the name of the person or organization that the mail is intended for.
• The address that follows the "c/o" is the address of the person or organization that will receive the mail on behalf of the intended recipient.

For example:

• John Smith, c/o Jane Doe, 123 Main St, Anytown, USA 12345
• In this example, the mail is intended for John Smith, but it will be delivered to Jane Doe at the address 123 Main St, Anytown, USA 12345.

The "c/o" is often used in situations where the intended recipient is not at a fixed address, such as:

• When someone is staying with a friend or family member temporarily.
• When someone is working at a temporary or shared office space.
• When someone is traveling and needs mail to be forwarded to them.

It's also commonly used in formal or professional settings, such as:

• When sending a package or letter to a business or organization, and you need it to be received by a specific person or department.
• When sending a package or letter to a government agency or institution, and you need it to be received by a specific person or department.

Overall, the "c/o" abbreviation is a convenient way to ensure that your mail reaches the right person or organization, even if they're not at a fixed address.
