Sending a letter

Hi,

I've got a question regarding sending a letter.
When I send a letter to someone working in a certain organisation which will receive the letter, I use an abreviation in my own language (t.a.v. or t.n.v.), which means something like 'in the name of'.

It will then look like this:

Mc Donalds Headquarters
(in Dutch: t.a.v.) Vince
rest of the address.

How do English people do this?

Vincent

Vince, I would add 'Attn: Vince'  immediately below 'McDonalds Headquarters', to ensure that whoever sorts the mail directs it to the attention of Vince.

On second thoughts, "c/o" mustn't be what you need... And maybe ot's something French, even though it's in English! Say, you're spending a month at a friend's. If I want to write to you, then I write your name on the envelope, and c/o the name of your friend + his/her address.

You can also use "FAO", which = "for the attention of".
