What to write on mail if wrong address
The frustrating situation of sending mail to the wrong address! Here are some suggestions on what to write on the mail if you've made an error:
Option 1: Return to Sender
- Write "Return to Sender" or "Undeliverable" on the envelope.
- You can also include a brief note explaining the situation, e.g., "Incorrect address, please return to sender."
Option 2: Correct Address
- If you know the correct address, you can write it on the envelope and include a note explaining the mistake, e.g., "Incorrect address, please forward to [correct address]."
Option 3: Contact Information
- If you want to ensure the recipient receives the mail, you can include your contact information, such as your name, address, and phone number or email address, and ask the recipient to contact you to arrange for delivery.
Example:
"Dear [Recipient],
I apologize for the mistake. The correct address is [correct address]. Please contact me at [your contact information] to arrange for delivery.
Sincerely, [Your Name]"
Option 4: Use a Correction Label
- If you're using a postal service that offers correction labels, you can use one of these labels to indicate the mistake and provide the correct address.
Remember to always keep a record of the mail you send, including the tracking number and any relevant details, in case you need to follow up on the delivery.
