3. Place both letters into an envelope, and address it to the child - don't seal it
4. Add the return address to the envelope - Santa, North Pole
5. Make sure you put a first-class stamp on the envelope
6. Place that envelope inside a larger envelope with the appropriate postage, and mail it to the Anchorage, AK, address listed above.
