1.1 Explain how to deal with junk mail
Junk mail can come by electronic way such as email or be received by post in form of letter, newspaper, package, leaflet,etc. When dealing with junk mail we can try to reduce it by registering with Royal Mail's 'Door-to-Door Opt-Out', putting a sticker “no junk mail” on the door, contacting sender or sending it back to sender.

There are few problems that may arise when dealing with incoming or outgoing mail. Main issue that may occur are suspicious mail, delays and missing deliveries.
Any suspicious mails should be reported to safety manager straight away and be kept in safe place, away from people. To avoid any delays mail should be correctly stamped (1st class, 2nd class,etc.) and send on time. To avoid missing deliveries mail should be sent via recorded delivery or sign delivery.

When operating franking machine we must ensure that we have a supply of envelopes available. We need to select the service (e.g. Royal Mail), postage class, and other special requirements (e.g. country). If the items are heavy they will need to be weight prior franking.
When all options are selected just insert the letter face up on the feeding machine and take to the near post box.
