Yes so people can reply to the letter. Only if you wish the recipient to know who sent the letter before they open it, or if you suspect the letter may be undelivered and you want it back.

How do you get rid of requests for donations mostly from Political sites?

If a political candidate sends along a return envelope marked "no postage necessary" then mark in bold letters a request to remove your name and address from his/her mailing list and return it to their mailing address. They pay the postage. If the return envelope has no postage paid for return then mark the letter the same way and return it postage unpaid anyway. Make sure your name and address are not printed on the back of the return envelope. If so, throw it in the trash.
