- Envelopes are of two basic sizes. First, there is the
- number ten or large envelope. Secondly, we have the number
- six or small envelope. The large envelope is commonly used
- for business letters, while the small envelope is generally
- used for personal letters. However, this is not always the
- case; for example, a personal letter involving an enclosure
- might well demand the use of a large envelope. And nothing
- is improper about using a small envelope to send a business
- letter through the mail. Both envelopes require a specific
- letter fold to assure a quick entry and exit of the letter.
- The letter's return address is keyed in the upper left
- corner of the envelope. It should be started on the second
- line from the top, about three spaces from the left edge of
- the envelope. For the address, begin it at the approximate
- vertical center, about a half inch or so to the left of the
- horizontal center. It is important that the letter address
- always be keyed in single spacing. If this is not done the
- postal service equipment will be unable to read the address
- and slow delivery. Every state has a Zip Code abbreviation
- and number. Space twice before keying the Zip Code number.
