Certainly! Here's a clear guide on how to address an envelope properly:

How to Address an Envelope

1. Write the Recipient’s Address

• Center of the envelope: Write the recipient’s address in the middle of the envelope.
• Format:
  • First line: Recipient’s full name (e.g., Mr. John Smith)
  • Second line: Street address or P.O. Box (e.g., 123 Main Street)
  • Third line: City, state/province, and ZIP/postal code (e.g., Springfield, IL 62704)
  • Fourth line (optional): Country (if sending internationally)

2. Write the Return Address

• Top left corner: Write your return address in smaller letters.
• Format:
  • First line: Your full name
  • Second line: Your street address or P.O. Box
  • Third line: Your city, state/province, and ZIP/postal code
  • Fourth line (optional): Your country (if sending internationally)

3. Place the Stamp

• Top right corner: Affix the postage stamp.

Example:

[Top left corner]
Jane Doe
456 Elm Street
Chicago, IL 60614

[Center of envelope]
Mr. John Smith
123 Main Street
Springfield, IL 62704

[Top right corner]
[Stamp]

Tips:

• Use clear, legible handwriting or print the address.
• Avoid using commas between address elements (especially in the U.S.).
• Use uppercase letters for better readability (optional but common).
• Make sure the envelope is properly sealed and the stamp is valid.
