English postal standards are somewhat different from those that we are used to seeing in Russian mail. Correct filling of the postal envelope will speed up the delivery of the letter from Russia to the UK.
Instructions
Step 1
It is best to use a white envelope with no images or lined margins. Ask for an international mail envelope at your post office.
Step 2
On the front of the envelope, write “UK” in large letters, centered, followed by the recipient's address in English. In England, as in the rest of Europe, the order of writing is the reverse of the Russian one - that is, you first need to indicate the name and surname of the recipient of the letter. Then write the number of the apartment, building, house, street name, city and country, and at the end - the index. If a letter is sent to an organization and you do not know the contact person, write the official name of the company instead of the name.
Step 3
Write your address on the back of the letter or on the front in the corner. If you enter the address in the corner, select the upper left or lower right, as the postal worker will stick stamps to the upper right corner. Filling in the sender's address is exactly the opposite. Write Russia at the top, and then your address and full name in Russian format in Russian or in Latin letters. It is customary to write the return address in the following format: country, region or region, city or town, street, house, building, apartment. And only after specifying the address, you need to register the surname and first name.
Step 4
Give the envelope with the attachment to the post office and ask for stamps to be attached to the envelope to send a letter to England. Sending a letter is paid - in addition to paying for the envelope and stamps, you will need to pay for the weight of the letter.
