Direct Mail: How do you write a salutation when it's an LLC?

[Chris Ruoff]

I am mailing a "Professional Letter" to a list of apartment owners and targeting both people whom hold it in their name but also LLC's and Trusts.

My question: How do you write a salutation when it's an LLC?

In my prior mailers I have always excluded "Trustee-owned Properties" and "Corporate-owned Properties"

So the beginning of the letter would look like this:

"John Smith

123 Main Street

Austin, TX 78701

John,

I am writing you about blah blah blah...................."

But with a trust it would look like this:

"803 Northwest Parkway Land Trust

123 Main Street

Austin, TX 78701

803 Northwest Parkway Land Trust,

I am writing you about blah blah blah...................."

So I have two questions:

1. How do I write my salutation?

2. We hand write the envelopes; what do we put as the addressee on the envelope? The USPS will be crazy confused if I put:

"803 Northwest Parkway Land Trust

123 Main Street

Austin, TX 78701"

Thanks!!
