I sent a holiday letter to a teacher that I thought still worked there....?

Question

I sent it today, this teacher quit on October, I thought he still
worked there but I called later to the school after I sent it and they said he no longer works there since October. Will they send it back to me or will they forward it to his home address even though he quit on October(2 months ago).
If he got fired on October (which I'm thinking he did but not sure), will they forward it to his personal address or will they send it back to my address ?

Answer 1

Check with the U.S. Postal Service for a time period on how long they will forword mail.The school doesn't decide if he gets his mail, he does. He would have had to put in a change of address with the Postal Service.

Answer 2

When a letter is recieved to a company or government organization, the company or organization is not obligated to forward on the letter.

If the school has the letter, you can ask them if they could forward the letter to the teacher's last known address. If the teacher has moved in the last 12 months, the post office should redirect the post to the new address.

Not much else you can do except for re-writing your letter and sending it to his/her home address.
