Article: Place the letter or contents inside the envelope and seal it if you have not already done so. Make sure the contents fit well inside the regular or padded envelope, as mail can sometimes be damaged in transit, especially if it is an odd shape. If you are using a padded envelope, or if your package is bumpy, address your envelope before placing the contents inside to ensure that the addresses are clear and legible. Once you have inserted the letter into the envelope and sealed it shut, you should write your name and address on the back. The French post likes to have the return address over the sealed portion of the envelope to show that it has not been opened or tampered with. You should include the following information:  Your first and last name – with the last name in all caps (line one) Your street address (line two) Your city, state and postal code (line three) The country (line four) Take your letter to the post office and ask for help from one of the associates at the counter. They will be able to weigh the letter, and notify you of the correct postage amount. Pay for the postage and the post office employee will affix the postage stamp to your letter. Your stamp should be placed in the upper right hand corner of your envelope.

What is a summary?
Put the letter in the envelope. Write your address on the back. Mail your letter to France.
