how to mail a letter?

Ok this sounds like a dumb question but i;ve never mailed anyone before! What do you do, where do you write the persons address your mailing it to? And where and how do you put your address on… is it those stamps? And are all post offices far away?

Put your letter folded inside envelope. Seal envelope (some have a tape that you remove and you press it to close it and closes automatically, no need to wet it). In the front of the envelope in the middle and on one line under the other you write:

Mr. Joe Smith (name of person)

# and name of Street or Ave or Ct. or Pl.

State , Zip Code

Country name

If you are in US and want to sent it to US you don’t need the country name because it’s obvious with the State name and zip. If you don’t have a Street but a PO Box then replace it for the PO Box #.

In the upper left corner written a little smaller you write your name, under it your address, take another line under to write your state and zip, and another line for the country.

The stamps go on upper right hand corner of the front of the envelope. But postage varies according to the weight of the letter, so if you’re not sure how much it could be show up at the post office where they can weight your letter and put the right amount for stamps.

Post offices are not so difficult to find. Even small towns have a small post office. Inquire in your neighbourhood where it is located.

You didn’t say where you are so just in case you are in the Amazones then I really don’t know where the post office is!
