How to Write a Mailing Address on a Personal Letter to the USA
On the first line, write the recipient’s full name along with the salutation. Write the street address with the house number immediately below it. Remember that in an American address, the house number comes first, followed by the street name. On the next line, write the municipality and below it (or next to it) the state abbreviation and ZIP code. The final line must include the country designation.
Always include the complete address, including the suite number or the “East” and “West” directional signs. Without these details, the shipment may not be successfully delivered.
