How to Write the Address and Name

Please write the address using the English alphabet and Arabic numbers as a general rule to ensure secure delivery.

Note
If you write sender's and recipient's name and address conversely to the example below, or write them next to each other, the letter might be returned from the recipient's country or delivery might be delayed. If the recipient's address is difficult to read because of the envelope's dark color, it may be returned by the destination country.
