Re: proper way to address attention lines on envelopes

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

An attention line should go below the company name, but IMO there are only
two good reasons to use an attention line instead of just addressing the
letter to the person directly (on the first line, followed by the company
name on the second):

1. You don't know the person's full name (this is often the case when you're
told to send something to the attention of "Wendy" or "Mr. Smith").

2. If you're addressing something to a position or department or perhaps
someone who represents a position or department, and you want the letter to
go to the appropriate person even if "Mr. Black" is no longer with the firm.
