INFORMATION Mr A Smith When applicable Addressee's Name Acme Plc When applicable Company/Organisation Acme House Yes Building Name (except if it has a number) 3 High Street Yes Number of building and name of thoroughfare Hedle End Yes but only if a similar Locality Name road name exists within a Post Town area SOUTHAMPTON Yes Post Town (please print in capitals) SO31 4NG Yes Postcode (please print in capitals) You do not need to include a County name provided the Post Town and Postcode are used."
