Hagaki - 01

From a questionaire 葉書(はがき), a post card.

恐れ入りますが50円切手をお貼りください
おそれいりますが50(ごじゅう)えんきってをおはりください

[Awfully sorry, but] please affix a 50 yen stamp.

恐れ入りますが… is a phrase used when asking someone of a higher standing (like customers) than you to do something. It's similar to お手数ですが which came up in this post.
