iii. Practical writing (1 period): Envelopes
1. The format of the writing
How to address an envelope when you write a letter in English
The physical appearance of a letter consists of the paper and the envelope. The first thing a recipient sees is the envelope. It is essential that it should be of suitable quality with the name and address spelt correctly.
The name and address of the recipient should be centered on the envelope or in
the lower right part of the front. Make sure the address begins far enough down on the face of the envelope so that it will not be covered by the postmark. Things to include in a mailing address:
Line 1. The receiver’s name, followed by the courtesy title, job title or rank. Line 2. The name of the company, college, institution or the building. Line 3. The street, with the house number before it.
Line 4. The city and state (or province), followed by the zip code. Line 5. The country itself.
When using an envelope with a printed return address, you must type or write the name of the writer of the letter immediately above the printed information. Align the writer’s name on the left with this information. If desired, the writer’s job title may be included after his or her name. If you are using a plain envelope, you must add the return address in the upper left corner. Start typing or writing on the third line down from top of the envelope. The return address must include the name of the writer (your name); the name of your company, college, etc., the street address or a post office box number; and the city, state (or province), and zip code.
