Many Russians, for personal or business reasons, correspond with British citizens. How to write correctly and how to arrange a letter to this country so that it finds the addressee?
Instructions
Step 1
Depending on whether you are writing a personal or formal letter, write it by hand or type it on your computer. It is customary to write personal letters by hand.
Step 2
When addressing the addressee in a business letter, indicate his last name and do not forget to indicate the abbreviation Mr., Mrs. or Miss (mister, mrs, miss). Sometimes, depending on the purpose of the letter, you can contact the addressee, for example, “Dear / My dear Mr. Brown "(" Dear / Dear Mr. Brown "). You can also use the address "Sir / Madam / Miss" (Sir / Madam / Miss).
Step 3
When addressing the addressee in a personal letter, depending on the relationship that binds you, you can write only his name and / or add to it already "Darling / Dearly" ("Dear"). In both cases, a comma or colon is placed after the address, and not an exclamation mark.
Step 4
The text of the letter should begin with thanks for the message you received (in the event that you are responding to the letter). If you are writing to this person for the first time, be sure to introduce yourself and only then indicate the reason for the request.
Step 5
It was accepted to end the text of the letter with a wish to continue the correspondence and an expression of sincerity of feelings. For example, “Yours truly / Truly yours”.
Step 6
In order for the letter to reach the addressee, pay attention to the rules for its design, since in the UK they attach great importance to this. Write your first and last name (no middle name) and return address in the upper left corner of the envelope (stamps are usually pasted in the upper right corner). The name and address of the recipient - slightly to the right of the center at the bottom of the envelope. It is better if you write in Latin letters not only the name and address of the recipient, but also your details.

The addressee's name and the envelope should be “Mr. (Mrs. or Miss) John Brown . You leave your name unchanged. However, the sender's address must also be written in reverse order (street, house number, apartment, city, postal code, country). The English postal code consists of letters and numbers indicating the district and the post office. In addition, the abbreviation of the county is often indicated in the address.
Step 8
You can also include the sender's name and address on the back of the envelope. However, this order is usually rarely resorted to.
