If you accidentally open mail that is not addressed to you, you should reseal it and write "Return to Sender - Incorrect Recipient" on the envelope. Then, drop it back in the mailbox so it can be delivered to the correct recipient. It is important to respect others' privacy and not read or keep mail that is not meant for you.
