Mailing address

Every country has its tradition and principals that they follow when conducting a certain business meeting or negotiation. However, these traditions and principals are all differentiates from each other, some in many ways, some in small ways.  For instance, the format for mailing address is varies in every countries. Also, many countries are heavily dependent on first and last name of the receiver, but they are also certain countries where they do not use family or surname name because it is not custom in the country.




The examples of this would be Mongolia where every member of the family has different surname except the children of the household who gets they fathers first name instead of last name. Hence, single Mr or Mrs. Smith would create confusion, because it does not state the first name properly and it only addresses the husband because the wife has a different family name from her husband. if a letter was to be written to Mongolia from Canada, the format for mailing address would be very different and there would be a possibility to confuse the receiver if the right name was not used.
