correspondence/documents for mail in the ordinary course of business.

On December 31, 2014, I served:

prepaid and following ordinary business practices, said envelope was duly mailed and addressed to:

The fully sealed envelope with pre-paid postage was thereafter placed in our law firm’s

assistant duly employed by our law firm).
