Hi,
I want to write a letter to Mr. Brown who works for cabinet XYZ.
I want the envelope is open from him, only.
Can I write something like "CONFIDENTIAL" next the address, to improve the
chances?
Or anything else?
Please advice.
Thanks

It depends entirely on the practices in that particular office (not
"cabinet"). If I were you, I would write "Personal, Private and
Confidential" on the envelope, since I have in the past worked in
offices where the only envelopes left unopened were those with all three
of those words! "Private" or "Confidential" on their own are likely to
be opened by Mr Brown's secretary or assistant.

I'd bet these days that even with "Personal" or "To Be Opened By Addressee Only",
it wouldn't fare much better. Sigh!
And if it were addressed to a high-profile "Cabinet" type, it could lay in the
anthrax or bomb lab for a while.
