If you send a letter or package and the mail service is unable to deliver it, they can return the package or letter back to you so that it’s not lost in the mail forever. To do this, the return address must be written clearly and contain the proper information so the mail knows where to send it. Typically, the return address goes on the top left of the envelope. Including it can prevent you from losing packages and letters if you don’t have the proper postage or you sent the package or letter to the wrong address.
