P.O letter question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

My parents say yes, and I say no. Do you need a name with the street address or can you just put the address? My parents say the post office wont mail it and I say they will. Im sending a card to someone, and I dont know their last name, so I just have the street address.

If you only know their first name, you can put that down and it should get there, no problem. You DO need AT LEAST the first name in the "To:" field in order for mail to get to the person you want to send the card to. I am pretty sure that in the "From:" field, you can leave off your name completely, just put down everything else. I have gotten stuff in the mail addressed that way.

I have gotten some mail before where only my first name(or in my case, my middle which I go by) was listed and it came in fine. Make sure you have at least that though.

Hell, I've gotten stuff with the wrong name. Make up a last name if you want.
