How To Address An Envelope
By Leeanne Utiger
You have a letter ready and waiting to be posted, but you have no envelope. To post letters and other papers, you will also need to know how to address an envelope. There are a couple of ways to in fact address an envelope, so I will explain them to you, and hopefully you will learn form them how to address an envelope.
Let us say, you have written a personal letter to your friend who lives in another country. There are a few things you have to remember when addressing an envelope to be posted to another country, as opposed to addressing an envelope to be posted within your own country. On addressing this envelope, you will have to place the name of your friend as the top line of your addressed envelope. On the line below your friends name, you will then have to place their physical address. This is the number of the street, or road, or drive, or avenue etc that they live down, or P O Box number. Along with the number insert the name of the street, avenue, road, drive, crescent etc. And then of course stipulate on the end of the name, whether in fact it is a street, road, avenue, drive, crescent etc that they reside in. Once you have placed these details on line two, move down to line three. On this line, you have to insert the town they live in. That is fairly simple really. Then move down to the fourth line. On this line, you will have to insert the city (if their town or suburb otherwise known as is in fact within a city). Once you have done this, move to line six. On this line, you will have to insert the country of destination. Sometimes you will have to, on either line five or six, also attach a postal code number. This number may include random letters, but will hold important meaning for the addressed envelope and letter to get to the destination you are wanting it to get to. Once you have finished all of the above, you have succeeded in learning and knowing how to address and envelope to be posted to another country.
If you are simply wanting to know how to address an envelope for a letter which is to be posted within your local area or own country, you simply do the same as for addressing an envelope to be posted to another country, with the exception of line six. This is not a necessity, unless of course the recipient of the addressed envelope has in fact requested that of you.
On the occasion you may have to get the addressed envelope to a specific person at an address. For example, within a business.
On line one, place the name of the business, or company. Once you have done this, on the second line, insert the words, in capital letters as well: ATTENTION: and then the name of the person who you need the addressed envelope to get to. Knowing how to insert such things will in fact make it easier for the recipient at the other end to track down any inward mail they are expecting. The back to how you addressed the other envelopes. The routine does not alter any from here.
Knowing how to address an envelope is just a matter of remembering to insert certain things in the right places, that relates to the recipient in one way or another, like where they live, or whether they are working within a large business, where many others work as well.
Knowing how to address an envelope will in fact help the postal systems all over the world be able to guarantee a better service, both to you and the recipient, and in fact make it highly likely that your addressed envelope will get to where it is addressed to when it should, and not get lost in transit.
