What to write to forward mail

When forwarding mail, it's essential to provide the necessary information to ensure that your mail is delivered to the correct address. Here's a general outline of what to write when forwarding mail:

Forwarding Address:

• Your name (as it appears on the mail)
• Your old address (the one you're leaving behind)
• Your new address (where you want the mail to be forwarded to)

Example:

"John Doe 123 Main St, Anytown, USA 12345 New Address: 456 Elm St, Othertown, USA 67890"

Additional Information:

• If you're forwarding mail for a specific period, you can specify the dates:
  • "Forward mail from January 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023"
• If you're forwarding mail for a specific type of mail, you can specify the type:
  • "Forward all mail, except for packages and certified mail"
• If you're forwarding mail for a specific person or organization, you can specify their name:

USPS Forwarding Instructions:

When using the United States Postal Service (USPS) to forward mail, you can use the following format:

"Forward mail to [new address] for [length of time] from [old address]."

Example:

"Forward mail to 456 Elm St, Othertown, USA 67890 for 6 months from 123 Main St, Anytown, USA 12345."

Other Tips:

• Make sure to sign your name above the forwarding address.
• Use a clear and legible handwriting.
