Envelope - 01


宛て名ラベルをお貼りください
あてならべるをおはりください
Please affix an address label

・・・お貼りください came up before in this post.

宛名 refers to the name of the person the letter is addressed to, and their address.

Thanks to phauna (It's a (Japanese) Sign) for the picture.

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.
