ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Airmail etiquette

Airmail etiquette is like teaching manners to letters and envelopes that are flying in an airplane to reach their destination.

When you send a letter, you have to follow some rules to make sure that it arrives safely and quickly.

First, you need to make sure that the envelope is addressed correctly, with the right name and address of the person who will receive it. This helps the postman to know where to deliver it.

Next, you should put enough stamps on the envelope to cover the cost of sending it by air. This is because airmail is faster than regular mail, but it also costs more.

It's important to write neatly on the envelope so that the postman can read it easily. This also helps avoid any confusion with similar names or addresses.

When you are writing the letter, try to keep it short and sweet. Imagine that the letter has to travel a long way, so you don't want to make it too heavy or bulky.

Finally, you should seal the envelope and put it in a mailbox or bring it to the post office. Remember to say goodbye to your letter and wish it a safe journey!

By following these guidelines, you are showing respect to the people who will handle your letter and helping them make sure that it reaches its destination quickly and safely.
