Stamp to mail a letter
To mail a letter, you'll need to affix a stamp to the envelope. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Choose the right stamp: Select a stamp that has the correct postage amount for the letter you're sending. You can check the current postage rates on the United States Postal Service (USPS) website or at your local post office.
- Peel the stamp: Carefully peel the stamp from its backing paper. Make sure to peel from the edge, not the center, to avoid damaging the stamp.
- Position the stamp: Place the stamp in the top right corner of the envelope, about 1/4 inch from the top edge. Make sure it's centered and not crooked.
- Press the stamp: Gently press the stamp onto the envelope to ensure it adheres properly. You can use your finger or a credit card to press it down.
- Check the stamp: Double-check that the stamp is securely attached and not wrinkled or creased.
- Add any additional postage: If you're sending a large or heavy letter, you may need to add additional postage. You can use a separate stamp or a postage meter to add the extra postage.
- Seal the envelope: Once the stamp is in place, seal the envelope by folding it shut and applying glue or a sticker.
That's it! Your letter is now ready to be mailed. Make sure to address the envelope correctly and affix the correct postage to ensure it reaches its destination.
