How to write the address on a letter
How to write the address on a letter is very simple: it has to look neat and it should be in the lower right corner.
Where to put the address on the letter
- If you want to put an address on a letter, you have to distinguish whether you want to write down a sender's address or a recipient's address.
- The recipient address is written on the front of the letter, while the sender can be written on the front or back.
- You can write the sender's address on the back of the letter, one after the other, on the upper side of the letter.
- But you can also write them in the middle parallel to the right narrow side.
- Nowadays it is also very common to write the return address on the front of a letter. Here you write them in the upper left corner of the letter, one below the other.
- You must write the recipient address on the right half of the front, in such a way that you have enough space to write it.
- You should also leave enough space at the top for postage stamps and postmarks, so you shouldn't start writing at the very top.

How best to write
- Always write the address legibly so that the letter reaches its destination.
- It is best to write in block cap, as it is usually easy to read.
- Don't write too small, but rather generously.
- Use a ballpoint pen with a soft, wide lead so that your writing does not become thin, illegible or smudged.
- Do not press too hard to avoid holes in your envelope.
- Leave enough space between the individual lines so that the address is clear. You should leave a wider space between the street and the place so that the place immediately catches the eye.
- Start the lines left-justified one below the other.
