With the development of technology, human life, on the one hand, becomes more complicated, and on the other, becomes much simpler. Just recently, 20-30 years ago, sending a letter was a whole procedure: a pen, a piece of paper, an envelope. You write a letter, put it in the mailbox, and wait for a response. What now? You typed a text, one click, and in a few minutes you can already read what your interlocutor sent you. Let's figure out how to send mail via email.

First you need to have a computer, Internet access, your email account and the address of the person to whom you want to send a letter. If you don’t have your own e-mail, then it’s okay. Before emailing, let's start it.

There are many free Yandex, Mail, Google, Rambler, etc. We go to the website of any of them and register a mailbox for ourselves. To do this, click on the button “Registration in mail” or with a similar name, follow the prompts. In a couple of minutes, the mission will be completed, and now you can proceed directly to answering the question of how to send mail by email.

We click on the “Write a letter” button, and a special form for writing a message will open in front of us. In the "To" field, enter the recipient's email address. If this data is already in our address book, then it will appear as we write letters and will be offered to us to automatically fill out the form. Just click on the desired address that appears.

If you want to send the same letter to other people, then indicate them in the “Copy” field. You can enter addresses in the “Hidden” field, and then recipients will not see or know that this information has been sent to anyone else.

Fill in the following column - “Subject”. In it we indicate as briefly as possible what this message is about. The recipient must understand what the message is and open it for reading.

Next, write the text of your letter in a special field. For this purpose, we place the cursor there and start typing. Once you have expressed all your thoughts, click the “Submit” button. That's it, the letter has gone to the recipient, about which you will receive a corresponding notification.

Above, basic information was given about how. When performing this operation, you can change the text color and font, as well as turn on spell checking, and your message will be error-free.

It is possible, which is very important, to send the file by email. That is, you can attach photographs, documents, videos and other information to the letter. And the recipient will be able to view it, download it and save it on his computer right in the letter.

For this purpose, click the “Attach file” button, and a form for searching for it will open. Using the file manager, we find what we need and double-click. That's it, the required file (photo/video/document) is attached to the letter and will go with it to the recipient.

So we answered the question about adding files to it. Now you can forget about envelopes and be sure that your letter will reach the addressee in an instant.

Date of publication: 02/18/2018

Every year, Russian Post sends several hundred million different pieces of mail. More than half of all shipments are written correspondence. For example, only one Voronezh branch of Russian Post sent more than 20 million letters in 2017. Agree, the figure is more than impressive.

True, in recent years the epistolary genre as a means of communication has almost completely lost its relevance. Communication between people today occurs due to modern technologies such as the Internet and mobile communications. In view of this, over the past 15 years the number of sent simple letters and postcards has sharply decreased, but the number of registered letters with so-called business correspondence has increased.

How to send a letter by Russian Post so that it definitely gets into the hands of the addressee? What types of letters are there? What conditions and restrictions apply when sending written correspondence, how to write the address correctly - all this will be discussed further.

What is a letter

Before talking about how to send a letter by Russian Post, you should define the very concept of “letter”. After all, in addition to it, there are two more types of postal items: parcel and .

So, letter- a type of postal item with which correspondence is carried out, documents, papers, photographs are sent. Maximum weight - cannot exceed 100 grams. A mail item that contains the same photographs, documents or other paper products, but exceeds the required 100 grams in weight, automatically falls into the “parcel” category. Tariffs and rules for sending parcels are already somewhat different.

People often wonder if it is possible to send small items using a letter? For example, badges, coins, small jewelry, tea bags or magnets. According to the rules of the Russian Post - no! In practice, people sometimes put small items in an envelope and send them safely. There are also unsuccessful attempts to send, when Russian Post returns with a note that the attachment does not correspond to the type of postal item.

Types of letters

There are three types of letters:

• simple;
• custom;
• valuable.

Simple letter– in the literal sense of the word, this is the most ordinary letter, which is most often used to conduct some kind of personal correspondence or send not the most important documents and papers. Those letters that were previously exchanged between relatives or friends living in different cities were, in most cases, just simple. A simple letter is not a registered mail item; accordingly, it is not assigned an identifier with which it can be tracked.

Simple written correspondence is delivered by the postman to the recipient's address and placed in the mailbox. For this reason, this type of letter is considered not the most reliable, since, for example, it can be stolen from a mailbox. In addition, since this shipment is not registered, if the letter is not delivered to the addressee, it will be impossible to file a claim with Russian Post, receive compensation or write a search application.

Ordered letter Unlike a simple one, it is registered and handed over personally into the hands of the addressee (or by proxy to his representative). What does it mean? Firstly, after sending the letter, a check is issued through the cashier-operator, which indicates the track number, with which you can track the movement of the postal item and find out when it will be delivered and handed over to the addressee. Secondly, the chances that the letter will get lost somewhere and not reach the recipient are much less than in the case of a simple letter.

Valuable letter - is the same as a registered letter, but has one difference. For a valuable letter, the declared value is additionally indicated. In case of damage or loss of a valuable postal item, the amount of declared value will be partially or fully compensated by Russian Post to the sender. That is, in this case, the declared value is a kind of insurance. Accordingly, if you are sending important documents that are of some value, then it is better to do this using this type of postal item. For example, if you decide to send a passport by letter or some document certified by a notary.

Additional services of Russian Post (delivery notification, list of attachments, cash on delivery)

Russian Post offers several additional services which may be necessary or useful for the sender of written correspondence:

• notification of delivery;
• inventory of the attachment;
• C.O.D;
• SMS notification;
• expedited 1st class delivery.

For simple letter -> only 1st class delivery is available.
For custom -> all types of services, except for the inventory of attachments and cash on delivery.
For valuable -> all types of services.

Notice of delivery– a special document (form) that will inform the sender when (date and time) and by whom (full name of the recipient or his representative by proxy) the postal item was received. The recipient's signature must be on the delivery receipt. This form is attached to the letter and sent along with it. After delivery, it is sent back and also delivered by mail.

Inventory of attachment– a document (form) that indicates the contents of the postal item. For each item indicated in the inventory, the sender is required to indicate its value. At the time of delivery of a valuable letter with an inventory of the contents, the recipient has the right to open the envelope in front of the employee and check the contents with the inventory. If any item is damaged or lost, the organization pays compensation. The attachment inventory is most relevant when sending postal items by cash on delivery.

C.O.D- an amount of money that is collected on behalf of the sender from the recipient of the postal item. Cash on delivery is often used to pay for goods purchased online. In this case, the buyer pays for the ordered goods by mail only at the time of receipt. The recipient has the right to open an envelope or box before payment only if there is an inventory of the contents.

SMS notification– a service of informing the addressee about the arrival of a letter at the post office and notifying the sender about delivery. Available only in Russia.

1 class– accelerated type of delivery of postal items, involves air shipment. You can find out about delivery times by regular method and 1st class on the official website of Russian Post. You should not use this type of delivery within one locality, and also if there is no air service between your city and the recipient’s city, since the delivery speed will most likely be the same as in the usual case. However, 1st class shipping will cost more.

How to send a simple, registered or valuable letter by Russian Post

General information.
All letters are sent in envelopes, which may vary in size:

• minimum size 110 × 220 mm (euro envelope) or 114 × 162 mm (C6 format);
• maximum size 229 × 324 mm (C4 format).

Envelopes can be:

• without stamps and
• with a printed stamp.

The printed stamp can have different letters: A, D, B.
Such envelopes allow you to send some types of letters without additional stamps. Sending letters in an envelope that has no stamps on it at all is prohibited! The stamp is a kind of payment for the delivery service.

If you purchase an envelope without a stamp, then you will need to purchase additional stamps for it, the cost of which should be equal to the cost of sending one or another type of letter at the Russian Post rate. For example, if you send simple letter weighing up to 20 grams, then a tariff of 23 rubles applies (for 2019). That is, on an unstamped envelope for such a letter you will need to stick stamps worth 23 rubles. If it is a registered letter up to 20 grams - 50 rubles.

Stamps at the post office are sold in different denominations: 10, 15, 25, 30, 50 kopecks; 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 25, 50 and 100 rubles. Their appearance may vary.

How to send a simple letter

For a simple letter weighing up to 20 grams, purchase either an envelope with an already printed stamp (stamp with the letter A), or an envelope without a stamp and additional stamps for it for 23 rubles. You need to stick them in the upper right corner. Indicate all the data on the envelope (index, full name, address of the recipient and sender). Seal the letter and take it to post. To send, place the envelope either in the mailbox located inside each post office, or in the street box of the Russian Post, or hand the letter to the operator of the Russian Post.

To send a simple letter weighing 20 grams or more, you should contact the Russian Post operator for help. The fact is that for such letters every subsequent 20 grams are charged. The operator will weigh your letter and add the required number of stamps himself.

If you have a scale, you can weigh a letter heavier than 20 grams yourself. For every subsequent 20 grams you will need to add 3 rubles worth of stamps.

How to send a registered letter

You can send a registered letter weighing up to 20 grams in an envelope you purchased with a printed stamp (with the letter D); or in an envelope on which you yourself stick stamps for 50 rubles. You cannot send a letter the same way as a simple letter by dropping it in a mailbox. Moreover, in this case you will not receive a check. According to the rules, sending must be done at the post office through an employee.

Written correspondence weighing over 20 grams must also be sent through an operator. The employee will independently weigh the letter and calculate the amount of payment for it. If you decide to weigh the letter yourself, then know that for each subsequent 20 grams you need to add 3 rubles worth of stamps (2019 tariff).

If you would like to send a letter by 1st class, please notify the operator immediately.

If you decide to send a registered letter with return receipt requested, then take the free form and fill it out, then give it to the operator along with the letter.

How to send a valuable letter

The valuable letter must be sent through a Russian Post employee. Only in this case will you receive a check against which you can make a claim if something happens to the letter.

Based on the weight of the letter, the declared value you indicated and the additional services you selected, the cashier-operator will calculate the exact cost of your shipment.

For a valuable letter on the envelope, in addition to the sender and addressee information, you will most likely be asked to indicate the declared value.

A letter with a declared value weighing up to 20 grams at the 2019 tariff costs 110 rubles without VAT and 132 with VAT. Each subsequent 20 years will cost 3.00 excluding VAT and 3.60 rubles. with VAT, as in the case of simple and registered written correspondence. Payment for declared value: for each full or incomplete 1 ruble of estimated value: 0.03 and 0.04 rubles.

If you want to send a letter with - then ask the operator for the attachment inventory form f 107 and fill it out. If the letter contains an inventory, then provide it to the operator unsealed. The postal employee must check that the contents of the envelope correspond to what you indicate in the inventory.

If you want to send a letter by cash on delivery, ask for a postal transfer form f 112 and fill it out.

If you want to send a letter with notification of delivery, fill out.

How to correctly indicate the address on a letter

The main rule when writing an address is to write as legibly as possible! Only in this case can you count on the fact that your shipment will definitely fall into the hands of the addressee.

The recipient's address must be indicated in the lower right corner of the envelope. The sender's address is in the upper left corner.

The address must include:

1. the full name of the recipient (in the format “Last Name First Name Patronymic”) or the name of the organization;
2. street name, house number, apartment number;
3. name of the locality;
4. name of the district, region, region or republic;
5. postcode.

We write the index according to the following example:

On demand letters, the recipient’s street name, house number and apartment number do not need to be indicated. Instead of this data you need to write “On demand”.

An example of a correctly completed address is below:

Most people, when filling out an address, first write the name of the region (region, republic), then the name of the locality, and only at the end the street, house number and apartment. There's nothing wrong with that.

Many people write a person’s name and patronymic in abbreviated form (N. I. Ivanov) - this spelling is not correct, but for simple letters it is generally acceptable. For valuable and registered written correspondence, always write your first and middle names in full.

Some people write the name of the sender and recipient in the nominative case, and not in the genitive and dative, as required by the rules. This is not entirely correct, but it is acceptable for all types of letters.

If you made a grammatical error or missed a letter in the address (name of district, city, street), this is bad, but your shipment will most likely still reach the addressee. The main thing is not to make mistakes in the index, house and apartment numbers.

Is it necessary to include a return address in a letter? According to the rules of the Russian Post - mandatory. But sometimes they can accept a letter without the sender’s data. Some people deliberately do not indicate their address and name.

Remember, regular people work at the post office, not robots. Therefore, an employee can simply “turn a blind eye” to some acceptable violations of the rules.

How to properly send a letter by email: down with paper and pen, hello to postal services

Yes, there were times when we wrote and received letters only on paper. Since the messages were not sent often, a lot of information about our life and existence was collected in one envelope. Having solemnly dropped the news into the mailbox, we began to wait for an answer. Having sent a message, they wait intensely for a response, which for some reason never comes. And the letter, perhaps, was sent to the wrong address or even got stuck in the drafts!

How to send a claim by mail? The law allows you to send a complaint by postal service. Claim by registered mail with notification.

By sending certified mail with notification, you will provide conclusive evidence that your application (or claim) was delivered to the recipient's address.

You can’t just send a letter with an inventory. One form along with a letter in an unsealed envelope is given to the operator, the other remains with you. Documents with an inventory are sent to the most “problematic” recipients. When receiving letters, the operator weighs them, so if you are sending a lot of documents, keep in mind that the letter can easily turn into a parcel post. Otherwise, there are no differences from letters: the parcel can contain both a notification and an inventory of the contents.

Such a shipment can only be received with a passport. A return receipt is legally binding confirmation that you have received the letter. Some military registration and enlistment office or court will send you a letter with notification of delivery. Cash on delivery is the amount that the recipient of the parcel will pay.

If you have to confirm the delivery of documents by mail in court, then the notification from the Russian Post will definitely be accepted as evidence, but from express mail - it is still unknown. How to correctly use state mail to send letters to an organization? If there are a lot of items, then you can enter into an agreement with the Russian Post office.

To begin with, it is worth determining what exactly can be sent in an envelope for letters, and for what you will need to use, for example, a parcel. The question often arises: is it possible to enclose small objects in a paper letter? However, senders who have had some success sending small items in letters claim that such attachments can be transported as long as the items cannot be clearly felt in the envelope.

Valuable letters are delivered exclusively at post offices upon presentation of a notice. Receipt of delivery, as in the case of registered mail, will indicate that the addressee has received the letter. Inventory of attachments is a special postal form (Form 107), which is filled out before sending a letter (this “option” is only possible for valuable letters and does not apply to registered ones). To send such a letter, you must prepare an envelope with a claim enclosed. It is quite possible that the message will be returned to the sender with a note indicating that the storage period has expired.

At the post office you need to purchase an envelope, fill in the address and select the type of item. A registered letter is different in that it will be given to the addressee only upon presentation of an identity card. Insured letter will be postage paid if lost during transit. It is recommended to send documents as registered letters.

Many people will find it useful to know how to send a letter via Russian Post. In our age of computerization, writing paper letters has almost ceased. But sometimes you still can’t do without them.

First of all, you should remember that there are different letters - valuable, registered and simple. You can easily determine how best to send your message by reading the following recommendations.

The most common shipment is a simple letter sent by Russian Post. It is enough to seal it in an envelope purchased at a post office or kiosk, write your address at the top left, and the recipient’s address at the bottom right side, indicate the postal code and drop it in the mailbox.

If the shipment is too bulky and heavy, its weight exceeds the standard 20 g, the shipping cost will increase, and additional stamps must be affixed to the envelope. Otherwise, he will return to you for additional payment.

If everything is done correctly and the weight does not exceed the price paid, the envelope will go on its way and end up in the right hands. Sometimes it happens that the addressee has left, and it is not possible to establish his new location. Then the envelope, having completed its journey, will return to your mailbox. But you won’t be able to follow him along the way.

Simple correspondence is not registered in the postal system. And if something disappears along the way, and this sometimes happens, no one will bear responsibility for it. The contents of the envelope will be lost forever. Therefore, it is better not to send anything important by regular mail; this risk is not justified.

A simple shipment is the cheapest, sending it costs only 17 rubles if the weight does not exceed 20 g. But saving money has every chance of ruining your nerves; peace of mind is more expensive.

Registered and valuable letters

When there is a need to send the original document to relatives living in another city, and you want to track it along the way, use the services of sending registered or valuable correspondence. It will cost a little more. You will have to pay at least 35 rubles for sending a registered letter. If the weight exceeds 20g, the cost will increase slightly. Postal workers will tell you the final price after weighing.

How to send a registered letter? There is nothing complicated here. You just need to find time to go to the post office. The piece of paper with the message can be sealed in your own envelope; if desired, the envelope can be purchased immediately before sending. Give it to the post office operator and say that you want to send a registered letter.

The letter will be assigned a special number and you will receive a receipt for payment. On the Russian Post website you can easily track the movement of your registered message. It will be delivered at the specified address personally to the person whose name and surname you indicated on the envelope.

If he cannot be found at home, the postman will leave a notice, and the envelope will wait for the addressee at the post office for a month. And after this period, if it is not in demand, it will be returned back to the sender.

You can send a letter with notification of delivery, a card - the notification will be returned to you with the signatures of the recipient and the postal worker, as well as indicating the date of delivery. There is an additional charge for this service. Registered mail is a more secure type of shipment. As a rule, registered mail is not lost. If this happens, no one will return the money you spent.

But there is an even more reliable and secure method of sending via Russian Post - this is a valuable letter. For it you need to buy a special envelope and take a form to list the contents. If delivery deadlines are missed or the envelope is damaged or lost, the sender has the right to receive compensation. The value of the content is determined by the sender. Sending such a letter will cost more than a registered letter, but on the way to it there will be special attention; a valuable message, as a rule, quickly finds its addressee.

If the addressee is abroad or in the Kremlin

Sometimes it becomes necessary to send a letter abroad. You can easily do this using Russian Post. The requirements are not much different from those for internal correspondence.

The only condition for correspondence abroad is that the recipient's address must be written in Latin letters. The name of the country should be duplicated in Russian. An example of how to write an address on an envelope can be seen at any post office.

If the question arises of how to send a letter to Belarus, the answer is simple, as is the method of forwarding. The letter will reach this country without any problems if the address is in Russian. But it is still better to use the Latin font, as provided for by postal rules for all international correspondence. The cost of a letter abroad depends on the weight of the envelope with the message and the country of destination. Sending a simple letter weighing up to 20 g to Belarus or Germany will cost 31 rubles. Postal operators will be happy to tell you how much it costs to send a letter abroad, to any country in the world.

The post office will also come to the rescue if you need to contact the President of Russia. You can write either a simple or a registered letter to Putin, with or without notice. Letters are forwarded to the President and members of the Government on a general basis, with the same delivery guarantees as for other correspondence.

The destination address is very simple: 103132, Russia, Moscow, st. Ilyinka, 23, V.V. Putin.

Russian Post is improving its work, mail processing processes have been automated, which helps speed up the delivery of correspondence.

To make the journey for your message easy and fast, do not forget to write the postal code; if it is not specified, the letter will be redirected to manual sorting, which will lengthen the time it spends in transit.

But in some cases it is impossible to do without sending it in a regular postal envelope. How to send a letter via Russian Post so that the correspondence is guaranteed to reach the addressee?

What can you send in a postal envelope?

To begin with, it is worth determining what exactly can be sent in an envelope for letters, and for what you will need to use, for example, a parcel. What can you send by letter by Russian Post?

In addition to postcards and letters, you can put almost any paper or cardboard correspondence in an envelope: personal documents (passport, diploma, work book, certificates, etc.), paper (cardboard) crafts and products, photographs, etc. The main thing is that the weight of one letter did not exceed the established norm - 100 g (for letters to another country - no more than two kilograms). The exception to this rule is money and bank cards - postal workers themselves do not recommend putting them in envelopes.

The question often arises: is it possible to enclose small objects in a paper letter? For example, jewelry, keychains, flat magnets, badges? Postal employees answer this question in the negative. The reason is simple - when stamping an envelope or when sending/removing it through a mailbox, the envelope may tear due to the bulky item inside.

However, senders who have had some success sending small items in letters claim that such attachments can be transported as long as the items cannot be clearly felt in the envelope. This is achieved by simply wrapping the item in cardboard, several layers of tape or thick paper.

How to send a simple letter

Depending on the type of sending, letters can be registered, simple, express, letters with declared value or with notification. The step-by-step procedure for sending them is approximately the same, with the exception of some features. Using the example of a simple postal item, let's look at how to send a letter via Russian Post:

• To send, you need to purchase an envelope in accordance with the size of the attachment. The smallest is 114 x 162 mm or 110 x 220 mm (euro), the largest is 229 x 324 mm.

• The envelope should be filled out in legible handwriting in any color of ink except red, yellow and green. Various crossing-outs, stains or corrections on the envelope are not allowed.
• In the upper left corner, in a special field, fill in information about the sender:
  - in the line “From” the full name or name of the sending organization is indicated;
  - in the “From” lines, enter the sender’s address data in the following order:

• Street;
• House number;
• building number (if any);
• apartment number (office or office number);
• settlement (full geographical name);
• district (if it is present in the address);
• name of the region of the Russian Federation (region, territory, etc.);
• name of the country of departure (only for sending abroad);

  In the lower window, fill in 6 digits corresponding to the sender's post office index.

• In the same order, information about the recipient of the letter is entered into the lines of the field located in the lower right corner of the envelope.
• In the field for the digital index (lower left corner), the recipient's post office index is entered along the contour.
• After filling out all the required fields, an attachment (letter, postcard, etc.) is placed inside the envelope and the envelope is sealed.

A simple letter, the weight of which does not exceed 20 g, is sent in a postal envelope without additional payment or additional stamps. However, if the weight of the item is greater or the letter is expected to be delivered outside the country, then before sending the letter via Russian Post, you should contact the operator, who will weigh the letter and affix stamps in accordance with the price of the item.

How to send a registered letter

How does such a message differ from a simple letter? How to send a registered letter via Russian Post? The service for sending registered letters is intended for sending important documentation, official correspondence (requests, claims, notifications, complaints, etc.). Registered letters have a number of advantages compared to sending a simple message:

• When sent, a registered letter is assigned an individual track number (indicated at the top of the check issued to the sender). Using it, it is possible to track the delivery of the message through the Internet service “Tracking of items” on the PR website.
• This type of shipment is delivered personally to the addressee against signature after presentation of the passport. This is indisputable evidence that the sender sent the letter in a timely manner, and the recipient is familiar with the contents of the message.

Sending registered mail is a more reliable, but also more expensive way of delivering correspondence. How to send a letter via Russian Post if you need to use the “Registered Letter” service? After completing the steps described above, the sender must contact the postal operator, say that he needs to send a registered letter, and pay the cost of this service. The postal employee will weigh the envelope, register the letter with a tracking number, and attach a barcode and stamps in accordance with the cost of the item.

Notice: what is it for and how to fill it out correctly

Registered letters with notification are a service that allows the sender to find out the exact date of delivery of the letter to the recipient. This is an official document, which in some cases can also serve as proof of the fact that correspondence was sent on time. To use this service, you must fill out a form and inform the operator that a registered letter is sent with a notification.

It is filled out on a special postal form F-119. All information is on both sides in a field indicating: “Those circled with a bold line are filled in by the sender.” The filling procedure is as follows:

1. In the field indicating “Notification must be returned to the address”, the data of the sender of the letter is entered in the same sequence as on the envelope. Marks are placed in the “Letter” and “Registered” boxes.
2. The recipient's details are entered in the field on the back of the form, in the same order as on the envelope. Marks are placed in the “Letter” and “Registered” boxes.
3. The notification is glued by the operator directly to the envelope, and after delivering the registered letter to the recipient, the form is removed by the postman and sent to the sender.

Letter with a description of the attachment

It is recommended to order a letter of value (also known as a letter of declared value) to send particularly valuable attachments: originals of personal documents, securities, real estate documentation, etc. This type of postal item is supplemented by a description of the attachment indicating the amount at which the sender estimates the contents of the envelope.

This type of forwarding is considered one of the most reliable, since a valuable letter is necessarily assigned a registration number, which means it can be tracked on its way to the addressee. In addition, if the letter is suddenly lost, the sender receives compensation from the post office in the amount of the declared value.

How to send a registered letter via Russian Post if it needs to be supplemented with an inventory of the attachment with a declared value? In addition to purchasing and filling out the envelope (there is no need to seal the letter), the sender will need to contact the post office operator to make an inventory:

• It is filled out by the sender in duplicate on special forms f-107. The inventory must contain a detailed list of all papers sent in the letter, indicating their estimated value.
• The mail operator checks the contents of the attachment with the compiled list.
• Each copy is signed by the operator who accepted it and the sender.
• One copy is handed over to the sender, the second is placed in an envelope along with the papers being sent.
