Send by certified mail
The classic phrase!
"Send by certified mail" is a common instruction or request to ensure that a letter or document is delivered to its intended recipient in a secure and trackable manner. Here's what it typically entails:
- Certified Mail: The sender uses the United States Postal Service (USPS) to send a letter or document via certified mail. This service provides proof of mailing and delivery.
- Tracking Number: The USPS assigns a unique tracking number to the certified mail piece, which allows the sender to track the delivery status online.
- Signature upon Delivery: The recipient must sign for the certified mail piece upon delivery, providing proof of receipt.
- Return Receipt: The sender can request a return receipt, which is a signed receipt from the recipient confirming delivery.
By sending a document by certified mail, the sender can:
- Ensure the document is delivered to the correct address
- Track the delivery status
- Verify receipt by the recipient
- Provide proof of mailing and delivery for legal or business purposes
In the context of a legal or business transaction, sending a document by certified mail can be an important step in ensuring that the recipient receives the document and that there is a record of delivery.
