Doing a mail merge of your address list is the best way to do this. According to wikipedia.org, mail merge is a software function describing the production of multiple (and potentially large numbers of) documents from a single template form and a structured data source. This helps to create personalized letters and pre-addressed envelopes or mailing labels for mass mailings from a database mailing list of names and addresses.
We encourage you to use the “Mail Merge Wizard.” Follow the instructions based on the program you’re using.
