writing "refused" on a letter?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - writing "refused" on a letter?

Posted: 3/8/2006 5:09:17 PM EDT

I received a letter for the guy who lived here before me (I've lived in this apartment for over a year). I would just throw the letter away, but the address is hand written, and it looks important. I have no idea where the guy moved off to.

I've read or heard somewhere that you can write "Refused" or something to that effect on the envelope, and put it in the mailbox, and the mail people will send it to the return address; is this true?

How about "No longer at this address return to sender"?

I got one back marked that way once.

Write something like "moved no forwarding address", or "no longer resides here" the mailman will generally sceen from then on!

"RTS" on the envelope will suffice

"Return To Sender"

I always like "Return to Sender. Address Unknown." But you have to be an Elvis fan, I guess.

Since my baby left me, I found a new place to dwell. It's down in the middle of Lonely Street, called Heartbreak Hotel. . .

the actual term that the post office prefers is "Attempted Not Known"
