How to find your letter

  1. 1 Look at the heading of your letter — the local name is printed there, and every card below shows it.
  2. 2 Open the card: what the letter means, who sends it and what usually happens next.
  3. 3 Where the period is fixed, count your own last day from the day the letter was delivered to you.
