What to put on mail to return to sender
When returning mail to the sender, you'll want to make sure to include the necessary information to ensure it gets back to them safely. Here's what you should put on the mail:
- Return Address: Write your return address in the top left corner of the envelope. This should include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code.
- Sender's Address: Write the sender's address in the center of the envelope. This should include the recipient's name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code.
- "Return to Sender" or "Refused": Write "Return to Sender" or "Refused" on the front of the envelope, usually in the top right corner. This alerts the postal service to return the mail to the sender.
- Optional: Reason for Return: If you want to provide a reason for the return, you can write a brief note explaining why the mail was returned. This can be helpful for the sender to know what went wrong.
Here's an example of what the envelope might look like:
[Your Return Address] [Your Name] [Your Street Address] [Your City, State, ZIP]
[Sender's Address] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Street Address] [Recipient's City, State, ZIP]
Return to Sender
[Optional: Reason for Return]
Remember to use a clear and legible handwriting, and make sure to include all the necessary information. If you're using a stamp, make sure to affix it to the upper right corner of the envelope.
By following these steps, you'll ensure that the mail gets returned to the sender safely and efficiently.
