Best Answer

I am fairly certain that you would address the letter by listing the names alphabetically on separate lines on the envelope, and then follow with the address. Example:

Mr. John Jones

Mrs. Jane Smith

200 Nowhere Lane

Anyplace, State 00000-0000

It is handled differently if one of the individuals has a title (such as a doctor)...but, I can't remember the rule for that one.

Proper salutation for a husband and wife with different last names?

Assuming a business letter to husband and wife with different last names who you don't know the proper business salutation is to have the the wife's name first before the husband's accompanied by the proper titles. For example: Dear Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Jones, (salutation on letter) Mrs. Susan Thompson and Mr. Jeremy Jones (address on envelope and letter) Note that you could use "Ms." instead of "Mrs." if you prefer, although I recommend that since in this example you know they are married I would choose "Mrs." Jim Lumley jimlumley@live.com
