Where do you place your return address?

Return address is the senders address. This goes in the upper left corner of the mailing envelope or parcel. If you get a personal letter from someone, it should be in this format:

Barack Obama

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, DC 20500

Some letter-writing conventions also dictat that you write it just above the starting Word ' Dear..'. However, the return address also needs to be written on the outside of the envelope so the Postal Service can return the letter in case there is a problem with the destination address.
