3. The Inside Address (continued)
If the company address takes up more than two or three lines, you might want to put the title
and name on the same line. However if Lorena’s title were long, such as “Assistant Manager
Product Storage, Retrieval and Development, Section II-IA,” you might want to separate things
out to keep the address neat. The point is to keep everything clear and easy to read. For
example:
Lorena Samson
Assistant Manager,
Product Storage, Retrieval
and Development, Section II-IA
The company address goes under the company name. If it is too long, follow the same example
as with the title:
Lorena Samson
Chair
The Great Midwestern, Atlantic
and Pacific Insurance Cartel, Inc.
The street address is typed below the name and title. Again, type what is going to be on the
envelope. Here are a few guidelines:
a. Use numbers for all buildings except the number One (as in “One Central Plaza”).
b. Use numbers for streets, avenues, and so on above the number Ten.
c. Write out directions such as North or South; abbreviate city directions such as Northeast
to NE.
Type the city, state, and zip code beneath the street address. Learn and use the zip code
abbreviations for the names of the states.
